Here in a southwesterly direction to the village of Weißenbach. At the small chapel in Weißenbach turn left. Follow the road until you reach the bridge across the Enns river. Cross it and then turn left immediately. First along the Enns, then along a dirt road and finally a short stretch on an asphalt road back to the village of Aich.
