Hiking route: Promenade Weyer **Directions:** At the Weyer outdoor swimming pool, cross the Gaflenzbach and walk towards the center of Weyer – Weyer station and Kreuzberg to the right and Weyer marketplace to the left. You will reach the Schmiedbergerwehr, a playground themed on water, and then Katzensteinermühle. At the confluence of the Gaflenzbach into the Enns, walk towards the inn Zur Taverne and shortly before you have the opportunity for a short detour to the Enns.
