The Wachau101 is undoubtedly the most challenging route of the Wachau Trail and offers an impressive combination of physical challenge and scenic diversity.

With a length of 101 kilometers and 4,018 meters of elevation, this course is a real ultra trail that impresses with both its length and its technical requirements.

The route passes through the idyllic and culturally impressive Wachau region, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its picturesque vineyards, charming villages and historical monuments.

Meanwhile, the section through the Dunkelsteinerwald offers a very special highlight: here, runners can expect beautiful single trails that meander through dense forests and an untouched natural landscape. These trails are characterized by their technical nature and the tranquility of the surroundings - a paradise for hiking and trail running enthusiasts.

In summary, the Wachau101 is not only a sporting adventure, but also a journey through the beauty and history of the region. Perfect for anyone who wants to combine physical challenge with enjoyment of nature and cultural heritage.

The Wachau56 is certainly the most demanding of the four routes of the Donautal Trail Wachau. At 56 KM and +2472 HM, it is a pure ultra, varied and with many highlights along the route.

Hikers and trail runners are particularly challenged on the first 14 km with many meters of elevation; here it is important to save energy in order to easily complete the total distance.

The start for the hikers is at 4:00 am, please do not forget your headlamps, it is still dark at this time.
