Ennstalbundesstraße (B320) - Haus im Ennstal - Schlossplatz

Starting from the Schlossplatz in Haus im Ennstal, you walk to the Haus im Ennstal outdoor adventure pool. From there you cross the river Enns via suspension bridge. Continue eastwards until you reach Weißenbach. From the village square in Weißenbach, the path continues eastwards (past the village chapel) to the Sonnberg crossroads, now south along the pine forest path to the Enns bridge. After the bridge turn right and follow the Enns river until the road to Weißenbach. Cross the suspension bridge again and return to the Haus im Ennstal outdoor adventure pool and continue to Schlossplatz.

A part of the route is along asphalted roads and forest paths. Along the river Enns you walk on a meadow path, so the baby carriage should be suitable for off-road use.

Tip: At Wegkreuz Sonnberg, a detour to the outdoor Kneipp facility would be worth it. The detour takes about 20 minutes and promises a pleasant cool down, especially on hot days.

Safety information Safety on the mountainside: changes in the weather, sudden fall in temperature, thunder storms, wind, fog and snow fields are all objective dangers and require the correct behaviour whilst underway.
