Why did they go with the trouble of going to West instead of South at Serbia, where was war declared by Austria-Hungary?

Because Serbia was not a threat to Germany (and Austria was already invading them, and Germany didn’t have a border with Serbia anyway), France and Russia were.

Germany’s goal was to quickly invade France and knock them out of the war so they wouldn’t have to fight on two fronts.
