Facts & Figures
This long-distance trail stretches from Bärenstein in the Bohemian Forest to Nassfeld in Carinthia and is part of European Long-Distance Trail E10. It takes about 25 days to cover the entire 560 km. Some of the mountains are as much as 2800 meters above sea level, so surefootedness and a head for heights are essential.
