| Description: | Our event for runners and Nordic walkers, for young and old, under the “XTrail” (XT) brand, all in one day!
There will be a total of 4 runs on partly different routes and for different age groups.
“XT-Run” → popular cross-country run.
“XT-Walk” → Nordic walking run for young and old.
“XT-Challenge” → short sprint run for the U8-U20 age groups, which will also provide entertainment for the other runners on a compact course.
“XT-Kids” → run for the youngest athletes, who can emulate the big ones on their own short course.
Starting in the village center, the half marathon route first leads over the Wirbstein ridge before then steeply descending through the Ravenna Gorge with its trails, elevated walkways, bridges, and steps down to the railway viaduct, past Hofgut Sternen (refreshment point), and then along narrow paths to Posthalde. Now begins the first steep climb, approximately 300 meters in elevation gain over 1.5 km to Alpersbach. From there, the route continues flatly for 3 km on a narrow panoramic trail towards Hinterzarten. Then begins another descent through the Löffeltal valley to Hofgut Sternen (refreshment point). Now begins the most difficult climb, approximately 350 meters in elevation gain over 1 km to the Piketfelsen. From there, the route continues gently undulating through the woods and meadows to the finish at the Fun Park. |
