The starting point is the Grünaubach bridge at the outdoor pool in Grünau. The path first leads you along the Grünau creek until you reach the Baronsteg and have to turn left. After a short stretch of meadow, your path leads you to Kalkofenstraße, where you walk back along the Grünaubach to the former Enzenbachmühle inn. Look forward to a leisurely hike through the idyllic Grünau in the Almtal. Even in winter, this path offers a lovely walk through the snowy landscapes of the village.
