Though Matrei received market rights, it remained isolated from the neighbouring Tyrolean territories and was not easily reachable from the adjacent Salzburg Pinzgau region across the passes of Hohe Tauern range.
Kuigi Matrei sai turuõiguse, jäi see naabrusesolevatest Tirooli territooriumitest eraldatuks ja ei olnud kergesti saavutatav külgnevast Salzburgi Pinzgau piirkonnast üle Kõrg-Tauerni mäekurude.
