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.

After registering, you will receive an email with a download link to the GPX track of the route. This is primarily intended so that you can view the routes in advance or train for them.
Please note, however, that there may be changes to the route shortly before the event. A few days before the event, we will therefore make the most current tracks available for download again.
