Hintergebirge Marathon

Description:

The Hrinkow Hintergebirge Marathon starts at the Reichraming municipal office. The route is signposted throughout the year. 

Directions:
The first seven kilometers run on the Hintergebirge cycle path. At the Anzenbach parking lot, keep left and continue on the old Anzenbach road, where you ride over moderate ups and downs via the Brennhöhe to Brunnbach. At the junction in Brunnbach, continue straight past the Brunnbach school into the "Weyrer Brunnbach." After about 2.7 km, go right over the bridge and turn right again at a hunting lodge. About 2 kilometers later, you reach the provisional highest point (780 m). From here, go about 3 km downhill past the Kogleralm back down to Brunnbach. At the junction, turn left and head toward Hirschkogelsattel. Now it goes uphill again! Extreme steepness and loose gravel surface make this ascent the key section. After two kilometers, turn right onto Sulzkogel road (highest elevation: 950 m). In the area of Ortbauernalm, go left over Stiegelboden downhill to Großer Bach. On the Hintergebirge cycle path, it is now flat to Klaushütte (possible refreshment stop) and Großer Klause. After another three kilometers, the marathon turns right over Wasserboden to Pleißabach road. At the junction, turn left downstream to Weißenbach junction. At Weißenbach junction, turn left, and after 800 m at the old Weißenbach chapel turn right. After 4 km, you cross the Reichramingbach again and turn left back into the town of Reichraming.Tip:
