The cross-country marathon trails in Bad Mitterndorf - Salzkammergut - Ausseerland / Liezen / Styria / Austria have amounted to a total length of 30 km and 291m total altimeters in the easy to moderate cross-country trails of Klachau (village of Tauplitz) to Pichl - Kainisch. The described marathon cross-country tour starts with a height profile in Krungl and then runs over Neuhofen, Bad Heilbrunn back to Sonnenalm Knoppen in Pichl - Kainisch Ödensee on the cross-country and back.

Immediately after the start of the trails - opportunities in Krungl is a moderate climb up about 30 meters. The first 5 kilometers are generally classified as moderate cross country skiing. The second challenging climb is after the cross-country ski trail at the beginning of Neuhofen Heilbrunn trail. After the exit at Bad Heilbrunn is the deepest point of the marathon cross-country skating in Bad Mitterndorf with 775m. On Bad Heilbrunn have to go over 400 on foot, as a result of the tightness in the small valley to pose no trail (the green line - Google Map). Immediately after the thermal Bad Heilbrunn can also involve the Sports Trail - Kragl in the marathon distance (See Google Map - red marker. Not included in this high profile). Thus, the cross-country tour would not extend to heavy 5 km and about 110 meters. Next is the Sonnenalm cross country skiing, west of Bad Mitterndorf which is only slightly uphill. At the three intersections with the trail Neuhofen always turn to the left. At the beginning of Sonnenalm cross-country skiing, with the very nice managed hut "Mosthütte" on a sunny place and a few hundred meters away, with the Eselalm, there are two very good, rustic cabins for a comfortable rest. Right next to the Eselalm also the first serious, but not too long climb is on the trail Sonnenalm. Much more stamina you need then already in Obersdorf, where is one of the five long, hard climbs will be to overcome. The following next five kilometers of cross-country marathon to the return point in the district Knoppen of the municipality Pichl - Kainisch on the Ödensee cross-country skiing are very pleasant, as the terrain is sloping with a total of about 40 meters. This section of the Ödensee trail also two unbounded train crossings are to cross. Please cross this with caution.

From Knoppen back towards Obersdorf - Bad Mitterndorf it goes up on the Ödensee trail first once again 40 meters before you glide on the Sonnenalm - cross-country three kilometers long, comfortable with a slight incline, and in fine weather you can enjoy the views of Grimming and the surrounding Ausseerland mountains. At the end of Sonnenalm cross country skiing you walk in Kilometer 23 of this cross-country marathon again directly to the hut "Mosthütte" past before Neuhofen on the cross-country you get back on the Krungl cross country skiing. On these last four kilometers are once again 40 altimeters before being overcome by a short descent back to the starting point of this cross-country trails at the marathon distance achieved - entry into Krungl. Overall, amateur sports schedule for this cross-country tour around 2.5 to 3 hours.

Whom are 30 km cross-country trails not enough, can add the light Kulm Trail (east of Krungl trail - as a red trail on the Google Map) or equal to the trail entrance in Klachau / Tauplitz or at the parking lot before the Kulm start at the ski jump. The marathon cross-country tour would be extended even to 6-7 kilometers. Unfortunately, the Kulm trail end of March was not prepared. As a second option to extend offers, as already mentioned, the serious sports trail - Kragl in Heilbrunn with a length of 5 km to. Who prefer the diagonal technique, can add also the 10 km long, very romantic setting cross-country ski trail around the lake Ödensee. Skater arrive in max. 42 and cross-country skiers with classical art in beautifully landscaped, located 52 km cross-country ski trails.

However, one must on the whole marathon - track, depending on snow conditions, and unbuckle up to 20 times at the intersections of the cross-country skis. An ideal training for all Winter triathlet, which can also automatically train the discipline change.
