Map, elevation profile & further information
The Ahorn loop starts directly at the leisure center in Irdning - and after just a few steps, an impressive view of the mighty Grimming opens up, which will accompany you for much of the route.
From Irdning, you run in a northerly direction to Trautenfels Castle. Shortly before you reach the bridge, turn right at the Dankelmaier earthworks. A particularly idyllic section begins here: a quiet path leads you directly along the Enns, accompanied by the gentle murmur of the river and sweeping views of the landscape.
After a few kilometers, you will see the Enns bridge on the left-hand side of the path, where you turn right towards Sallaberg. You now run through a small, quiet residential area, where you can expect fantastic views of Irdning and the Grimming.
At the end of the road, you reach the district of Schlattham, where you turn right onto a field path. This leads you in a gentle curve back to Irdning. At the end of the field path, keep left towards the parish church, but turn right before the church at the sculpture park. You pass the Irdning elementary school and return to the main road.
There, follow the signs to the right - the last section takes you back to the leisure center, the starting point of your tour.
