Highlights are the beaver traces and the waterfall in Faller Bay. **Directions:** From Dürnbach train station walk left (towards Steyr) on the sidewalk (about 300m) to the chapel, then turn right onto the well-signposted Enns Aktiv Weg. After about 500m, there is another short stretch of road – turn after the house on the left side and then between both houses back onto the trail, here it goes right, downhill onto a meadow and then to the waterfall in Faller Bay. If little water is flowing, cross the water to the left of the waterfall (to the cave). Climb up the rocks to the left of the cave and then you are back on the trail. If too much water is flowing to cross, climb up to the right of the waterfall and go down behind the waterfall to the cave, then continue as described before. Then always follow the path, well marked and also repeatedly with ‘information stones’ (stone with QR code for information about the location). Continue along the Enns under the bridge to a brook mouth with a rest area. Turn right there and follow the brook uphill until the path forks left and right – choose right, uphill to the road and turn right on the sidewalk and follow it past the warehouse. Turn right and walk along the fence of the warehouse towards the tracks and just before the tracks turn left to Ternberg station. Return to Dürnbach station via the [Ebenboden circular route](https://www.steyr-nationalpark.at/oesterreich-tour/detail/430008304/ebenboden-rundweg.html) **Tip:** Plan a break at Faller Bay (waterfall) – natural heritage, place of power, and always worth a photo; after a longer dry period it unfortunately happens that the waterfall dries up (still beautiful) **Safety guidelines:** Partly somewhat exposed along the Enns, be careful when wet, especially in autumn when there is a lot of foliage. On the Enns Aktiv Weg there are narrow, exposed sections and stony or root-covered parts **Equipment:** The required equipment always depends on the respective route and weather conditions. Regarding food: This is very individual, and it is recommended to carry more rather than less in terms of equipment and provisions. A 5 km round in the valley needs less than a demanding tour in the mountains. The weather can change quickly, and if you are not constantly moving or need to take a break, warming clothing is of great importance. We have a general checklist for you here: - Weather-appropriate running clothes for the respective season – weather forecast – region – altitude. This includes e.g.: \\* a waterproof rain jacket \\* waterproof rain pants suitable for running \\* gloves and warm headgear (hat/headband/neck tube) \\* sunglasses + sunscreen + headgear for very warm days Trail running shoes Drink bottles, soft flasks, or a hydration bladder with enough fluid for the respective route (possibly also salt tablets/magnesium) Snacks for an energy boost in between: energy bars, gels, chocolate, trail mix, Running backpack: ideally a trail running vest / a trail running backpack or a waist belt for small tours. Dry pack: to keep your valuables or change of clothes dry (optionally a small garbage bag) Emergency blanket Small first aid kit. An Israeli bandage is highly recommended in my opinion: it is a one-handed operated wound and pressure bandage. Details can be found [here](https://www.alpenverein.at/shop/shop/index.php?kategorie=2005001&produktgruppe=42000). Emergency whistle (often integrated in trail backpacks) Mobile phone Map material (online and/or offline) E-Card or insurance card Some cash Spikes/crampons: these can be a great advantage in winter and icy conditions.
