Then we cross the road and continue to walk on a forest road. At the next fork off the road we keep left and follow the forest road to the next intersection. This and the next one straight ahead, at the third intersection left and then the next fork on the right. Then straight on until we arrive back to the street, left towards "Mitterbergholz". From here, we follow the R4 bike trail again via "Fallholz" to the village of "Viecht".

In Viecht turn left and immediately left again (signs for R4), then right under the Traun bridge past the Traun river fall (also worth visiting), past the "Landgasthof Kastenhuber" inn, continue following the signs for the R 4. Follow the street Viecht (R4), under the motorway bridge, then left and immediately right away from the street, following the path down to the Traun river, cross the bridge at the ALFA Kulturzentrum Steyrermühl, along the Traun to the bridge, right, cross the bridge, then left towards Restaurant Waldesruh, past it following the path along the Traun.
