An interesting way for getting there is certainly by Bicycle
which is provided for free.
Choose a route away from the main roads and include
"Frauental" and the Monastery (nunnery). The monastery shop
there is open weekdays afternoon. The monastery is idyllically situated on
an island in the river Lorze.

Passing leisurely the meadows and fields you'll see quite a few pretty
hamlets and farms and every now and then the chain of the alps will catch
your eye.
