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. We should not 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 8 hours and 49 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 hiking event. If I don’t know you and you’d like to join, please include some evidence of your fitness when registering in the notes field (e.g., Cooper test results, a list of comparable previous hikes, etc.). Without this evidence you will be moved to the waiting list.
NOTE: this is a new date for hike, which was suppose to happen on 31st of May, but got transformed to a different event due to bad weather forecast on Schneeberg. Priority will be given to those, who registered to the original event.
