Summer is approaching, and it's a great time to check your fitness level before the season kicks off.
For this purpose, we’ll start our hike at Weichtalhaus and take the unmarked trail through Stadlwandgraben directly up to Klosterwappen. From there, we’ll continue to Damböckhaus, where we might have a quick opportunity to refresh ourselves. After that, we’ll descend toward Baumgartner, followed by a long but easy walk down along the forest road. Hopefully, we won’t need headlamps by the end, but bring one just in case.
According to mapy.com, the route is approximately 18.6 km long with 1,568 meters of elevation gain and an estimated hiking time of 10 hours and 43 minutes. You can view the route here: https://mapy.com/s/jozujuguzu
This hike is intended for participants with above-average fitness who want to confirm they’re ready for the summer activities they’ve planned.
Successfully completing this hike should qualify you for nearly any ACV event. If I don’t know you and you’d like to join, please include some evidence of your fitness when registering (e.g., Cooper test results, a list of comparable previous hikes, etc.).
