Impressions from the Trail

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.
