The longest of all routes on the Highwalk Trail, which is hiked in two days during the namesake hiking competition in mid-June, is the HIGHWALK Professional covering 105 kilometers. It is the distance and the elevation difference that challenge the trained and athletic hiker extremely during the competition in 2 days (40 hours). As a reward, every hiker can look forward to magnificent nature, unique in Europe, and the Highwalker gold needle. The latter is awarded as an honor for the competition on June 12 and 13, 2021, in recognition of the outstanding achievement. In other years, you should take 4-5 days for the route. It is simply too beautiful to have little time for the distance!
