L1 Dürnbach circuit

Description:
After a short stretch of road you come to the Siberlbach, along which you continue in the forest strip. After crossing a small bridge and a short ascent, you return to the top between fields and then descend to Faller Bucht (waterfall).

 

The rest of the loop is on a part of the Enns Aktiv trail.

 

Highlight is waterfall in the Faller Bucht.

Directions:
From the train station Dürnbach direction Steyr slightly downhill to the underpass of the track, on the other side turn left onto the road and follow the course slightly downhill at the intersection.

At the bottom continue straight on (slight uphill) into Lauchweg, stay on this road until the fork. There keep to the right (according to the hiking trail sign in the direction of Gasthaus Sternwirt) and continue to the end of the road. Continue on the hiking trail along the Siberlbach stream until a small wooden bridge crosses it on the left. Cross this bridge and continue straight up the climb (attention: do NOT turn right onto the hiking trail).

At the top, turn left onto the dirt road and continue to the right at the farmhouse and around the corner to the left onto the road. Stay on the road until the next bridge, after the bridge turn right through the underpass towards "Faller Bucht" (hiking trail sign). After the underpass, turn right along the stream to an old cottage, after which it goes down to the Enns and the Faller Bucht. Keep right at the bottom for the Faller Bucht.

After a short detour to the waterfall to the Enns and directly along the Enns on the Enns Active Trail continue across the meadow and then uphill. At the top through a wooden flap door, turn left between two gardens to the next short piece of road. Keep right and also turn right at the intersection. Pass the Enns Cinema Lounge and shortly after turn right onto the Wandersteig. Follow this (along the Enns River) until you come to the road and see a round chapel on the other side of the road. Turn left here and walk slightly uphill until you return to Dürnbach station.

Tip:
Faller Bucht (waterfall) - natural heritage, place of power and always worth a photo; after a long dry period it unfortunately happens that the waterfall is dried up (still beautiful).

 

Along from the Siberlbach in the spring very much wild garlic, which blooms in May then beautifully

Safety guidelines:
when wet in some places a little slippery

Equipment:
The required equipment always depends on the particular tour and the weather conditions. Regarding the food: This is very individual and it is recommended to have rather too much than too little with equipment and food. For a 5km round in the valley you need less than for a demanding tour in the mountains. The weather can change quickly and if you are not constantly on the move or need to take a break, for example, warming clothing is of great importance.
