10-km route Mallnitz-Ankogel
Hohe Tauern - die Nationalpark-Region in Kärnten Tourismus GmbH Verified partner
There are probably not many certified running routes with such overwhelming scenic impressions as the "Ankogel" route around Mallnitz.
The route runs through two of Mallnitz's side valleys, the Tauern and Seebach valleys, offering ever new, fascinating views of the mountain world of the Hohe Tauern National Park!
Due to the altitude (1,200 - 1,300 m) this route is also ideal for training, as the body reacts to physical activity at this altitude with increased production of red blood cells, thereby improving oxygen uptake capacity, which leads to enhanced endurance.
The entire route is signposted (route variant 3 - "Ankogel")
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
