- The Blue Eye is approximately a 20-minute walk from the parking area. The walk to the Blue Eye is slightly uphill and the path is somewhat mountainous, while the return walk is easier, especially as temperatures usually become cooler later in the day.
- If you prefer not to walk, you can take the tourist train, which operates approximately every 10 minutes. The ticket costs 300 ALL (€3.50) per person, per way, and payment is cash only directly to the train operator.
- You can also choose to purchase a one-way ticket only, as there are train stations on both sides of the park. This means you can take the train in one direction and walk in the other.
- If you prefer not to take the train, no problem at all—you are welcome to walk both ways.
