Pacman: how do the eyes find their way back to the monster hole?

I found a lot of references to the AI of the ghosts in Pacman, but none of them mentioned how the eyes find their way back to the central ghost hole after a ghost is eaten by Pacman.

In my implementation I implemented a simple but awful solution. I just hard coded on every corner which direction should be taken.

Are there any better/or the best solution? Maybe a generic one that works with different level designs?
