From the town centre of Wallsee we go down to the old Danube arm. We follow the hiking trail westwards up to the Rohrmühle farmstead, turn left and shortly afterwards turn right between the buildings and hike past the hamlets Kleinhaag and Limbach to Strengberg. Now we walk a short section west on the B1 and turn right at the first opportunity into a street leading to the Buch farmstead. Then we join the Danube Heights circular hiking trail 452, whose blue-white markings accompany us almost continuously to Mauthausen. Passing Thürnbuch and the farming settlements Mayerhofen and Schiffmühle, we come to the road to St. Pantaleon-Erla.
Here we meet the Danube cycle path, on which we head west first to Erla and then to St. Pantaleon. We leave St. Pantaleon heading west, pass the hamlets Marksee and Arthof, cross the Enns canal before Pyburg and go under the railway onto the street that leads us right to the Danube bridge. Over the Danube bridge we come directly to Mauthausen.
