Event Planning Sheet!!!
Name of Event Semmering Cross Country
Date: Febuary 17th, 2001
Description: Various Activities at Semmering. We will meet at 10:45 at Semmering (for Bus
connectionis please look to the OEBB page, with a link available on our web
site), and we will form two groups, Light
Cross Country Skiing and Downhill. This
is a very casual event, for those who would like to try cross country or even
downhill. Where we go and what we
do will be determined by the group at 10:45.
Frankly, much depends on who shows up.
Monika will go downhill with the kids, and I wish to go cross country…
and if anyone else wishes to walk, hike or sled – now is your chance. This is also an opportunity to try CC before
Lackenhof!
We
will then meet around 1:00 at the Johanneshutte.
Here
is the only map I have available showing the Bahnhof and one of the tracks
(Panoramaloipe):
Sorry
about the quality and size, but this is all we could get!
A
description of the Loipe follows (my translation):
Die Semmering - Spital am Semmering
Loipe führt mit der Einstiegstelle Johannesloipe (bei der Talstation des Doppelsesselliftes
Hirschenkogel) über den Dürrgraben nach Steinhaus am Semmering. Vorbei am
Sportplatz Jauern gelangen Sie nach 12 km zur Talstation der Vierersesselbahn
Stuhleck in Spital am Semmering.
Nun haben Sie die Möglichkeit
die selbe Strecke wieder retour zu laufen oder die Öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel
(ÖBB,Bundesbus) in Anspruch zu nehmen.
The
Semmering – Spital loipe starts at
the entrance place Johannesloipe (near the lower
valley station Hirschenkogel cable lift), across the dry ditch towards
the stone house at Semmering. Past the
sports field Jauern, arrive you after 12 km in the lower valley station for
the Vierersesselbahn Stuhleck im Spital am Semmering. Now you have to run
the opportunity to ski the same distance again back, or to take the public
means of transport (OEBB, federal bus).
Die Streckenführung zeichnet
sich vor allem durch das durchwegs vorhandene leichte Gefälle bzw. ebene Teilstücke
aus und ist aus diesem Grund für Jedermann geeignet.
The
routing is characterised particularly by the continual easy downward gradient and level sections and
for this reason is suitable for everyone.
Die Semmering Panoramaloipe
mit einer Länge von 8 km hat ihren Ausgangspunkt hinter dem Südbahnhotel.
Entlang der Liechtensteinstraße (unbefahrene Straße !) laufen Sie mit wunderschöner
Aussicht auf das Rax- und Schneebergmassiv über den Golfplatz nach Orthof,
wo die Loipe ein Schleife zieht und Sie wieder zum Start zurückbringt.
The
Semmering panorama panoramaloipe, with a length of 8 km, has its starting
point behind the south course hotel. Along the Liechtenstein route run with
beautiful view to the Rax and Schneeberg, looming
over the golf course after Orthof, where the loipe pulls a loop and
returns you to the start again.
