Out of Unterburg and through a small forest to Untergrimming.

From there along the Kapuzinersteig up to the village of Pürgg. Here it is worth looking at the parish church of St. George and the associated cemetery. The view down to the castle, to the Ennsboden and to the west to the Grimming is an impressive sight.
