The mapped distance is 70.2 km (43.6 mi), with 278 m (912 ft) of recorded ascent, with 998 m (3,274 ft) of recorded descent.

Hiking Trail Directory rates this route expert from the available distance and elevation measurements. That rating is useful for comparing routes in the directory, but it does not establish technical terrain, exposure, path condition or the skills required on the day. The start and finish differ on this point-to-point route; arrange the return journey before setting out.
The source data records route tags for mountain, waymarked route and long-distance path, membership of the nwn network and a waymark record with the symbol “blue:white:blue_bar”. These attributes describe the route record as a whole; they do not prove that every section has the same surface, signage or feature.
The directory season field highlights april to october. This is planning metadata, not a live statement about snow, closures or trail condition. Szombathely is the nearest linked city in the directory, approximately 12.9 km away in a straight line.
The map is derived from OpenStreetMap and contains 167 geometry points. Elevation values were sampled from terrarium-z11. The traceable source record is 1435875. Open-data records can lag behind reroutes and closures, so compare the source, official notices and the forecast before travelling.
Plan around this route’s details
- Start, finish and return
- The recorded 70.2 km line has different endpoints. Confirm travel from the finish before setting out; that return journey is additional to the mapped route.
- Climbing in context
- The recorded ascent averages approximately 4 m of climbing per kilometre across the whole route. This is climbing density, not trail gradient: climbs and flatter sections may be unevenly distributed. Recorded descent totals 998 m and also needs time in your plan.
- What needs a separate check
- This record does not establish surface, dog access, wheelchair access. Check any of these that affect your group. Current closures, access arrangements and transport are not verified by the route line.

Climbing and descending by section
Use these equal-distance sections to see how climbing and descending are distributed along the stored elevation profile. Distances follow the profile’s recorded direction; walking in reverse swaps ascent and descent and reverses the section order.
| Section | Profile distance | Ascent | Descent |
|---|---|---|---|
| First third | 0.00–23.06 km | 141 m | 735 m |
| Middle third | 23.06–46.11 km | 98 m | 209 m |
| Final third | 46.11–69.17 km | 68 m | 82 m |
How these numbers are calculated
We split the stored profile into three equal distances and interpolate elevation at each boundary. Rising samples count towards ascent; falling samples towards descent. Totals can differ from the headline figures, which may use different smoothing or rounding. Sparse samples, gaps in the source route and elevation-model errors limit accuracy. These are calculations, not surveyed sections, directions or terrain assessments.

Your walking-time scenario
Adjust the example pace and allowances to explore your own plan. This calculator uses your inputs, so it may differ from the directory’s headline estimate.
Calculated walking time including your allowances
18 hr 31 min
1053 min for distance + 28 min for ascent + 30 min allowance.
This is an aggregate calculation for a long outing. It does not plan overnight stages, accommodation or recovery.
Formula: distance ÷ pace × 60 + ascent ÷ 100 × climbing allowance + stops. Travel to and from the route is additional. Terrain, descent, weather and navigation are not modelled. These results do not establish route suitability. Read the time-planning guide.
Recorded route measurements
The start and finish differ on this point-to-point route; arrange the return journey before setting out. The mapped distance is 70.2 km (43.6 mi), with 278 m (912 ft) of recorded ascent, with 998 m (3,274 ft) of recorded descent. The sampled elevation profile records a maximum grade of about 23%; this is a calculated value and may smooth short, steeper sections. The profile reaches 877 m (2,877 ft) from a recorded low of 154 m (505 ft).

Tips from the trail
- Open the linked source record before departure to check whether the mapped relation has changed.
- Save the route line offline; a map download is useful regardless of expected phone coverage.
- Use 3 days as estimated moving time, then add your own allowance for stops, conditions and daylight.
- Confirm return transport and its operating hours before starting this point-to-point route.
- Carry enough food and water for the full route; water availability is not established by the map data.
- Follow local access rules and leave no litter or food waste behind.
Warnings
- This guide does not contain live information about closures, hazards, snow, flooding or path condition.
- The sampled profile includes a grade of about 23%; verify the terrain and your footing requirements locally.
- The finish is separate from the start, so a missed transport connection can materially extend the outing.
Safety
Emergency services in Austria can be reached on 112. Share your route and expected return time with someone before leaving. The directory has no verified coverage map or live trail-status feed, so do not rely on phone reception or this page alone. Turn around when conditions, access or your remaining time no longer match the plan.
What to bring
- Footwear suited to the current surface and conditions
- Weather layers appropriate to the local forecast
- Offline route map and a backup navigation method
- Food and water for the planned time plus a reserve
- Charged phone and a small first-aid kit
- Head torch and an extra warm layer for a longer outing
