The half marathon route is marked in the reverse direction!
During the half marathon, the route (in the reverse direction) is run twice.
Author’s recommendation
The route is ideal for toddlers with bicycles or balance bikes. Possibly, due to the gravel road, one should avoid going out into the floodplain and instead return on the dam (asphalt).
If we walk about 2.5 km further along the dam, we come to a memorial stone erected by hunters from Stephanshart as thanks for their rescue from drowning during the 2013 flood. The invoked god sent help in the form of an Austrian Armed Forces helicopter, which rescued the capsized hunters from the waters.
In snowy winters, a wonderful cross-country skiing trail is groomed in the floodplain near Markt Ardagger.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
