Lymph path 3 - endurance training (long endurance training)
-
Wolfsberg CastlePhoto: Wolfsberg
This path is the longest route of the 5 lymph paths, measuring 9.1 kilometers, and connects the three themed trails Wine Teaching Trail, Castle Hill Trail, and Mausoleum Circuit Trail.
With a distance of just under 9 kilometers and 224 meters elevation difference, this path is particularly suitable for effective endurance and fitness training. This route is especially suitable for patients and health-conscious people who want to optimize their physical endurance, immune system, cardiovascular performance, and body weight with sporting ambition. No special physical performance is required for this route, but at least a basic level of fitness is necessary. Due to the duration of the activity, even at low intensity, an efficient training result can be achieved by correspondingly reduced walking speed.

10 Recommendations from the Alpine Club
As a nature sport, mountain hiking offers great opportunities for health, community, and experience. The following recommendations from alpine clubs serve to make hikes as safe and enjoyable as possible.
1. Healthy to the mountains
Mountain hiking is an endurance sport. The positive effects on the heart and circulation require health and realistic self-assessment. Avoid time pressure and choose a pace so that no one in the group becomes breathless.
2. Careful planning
Hiking maps, guide literature, internet, and experts provide information about length, elevation difference, difficulty, and current conditions. Always adapt routes to the group!
Pay special attention to the weather forecast, as rain, wind, and cold increase the risk of accidents.
3. Complete equipment
Adapt your equipment to your activity and pay attention to a light backpack weight. Rain, cold, and sun protection should always be in the backpack, as well as a first aid kit and mobile phone (European emergency number 112). Maps or GPS support orientation.
4. Suitable footwear
Good hiking boots protect and relieve the foot and improve sure-footedness! When choosing, pay attention to perfect fit, slip-resistant sole, waterproofing, and low weight.
5. Sure-footedness is key
Falls, resulting from slipping or tripping, are the most common cause of accidents! Note that too high a pace or fatigue significantly impair your sure-footedness and concentration. Beware of falling rocks: Walking carefully prevents triggering loose stones.
6. Stay on marked paths
In pathless terrain, the risk of losing orientation, falling, and rockfall increases. Avoid shortcuts and return to the last known point if you have once left the path. Often underestimated and very dangerous: steep old snowfields!
7. Regular breaks
Timely rest serves recovery, enjoyment of the landscape, and sociability. Eating and drinking are necessary to maintain performance and concentration. Isotonic drinks are ideal thirst quenchers. Muesli bars, dried fruit, and biscuits satisfy hunger on the way.
8. Responsibility for children
Note that variety and playful discovery are the focus for children! In sections with risk of falling, one adult can only supervise one child. Very exposed routes requiring long-lasting concentration are not suitable for children.
9. Small groups
Small groups ensure flexibility and enable mutual help. Inform trusted people about destination, route, and return. Stay together as a group. Beware of solo hikers: even small incidents can lead to serious emergencies.
10. Respect for nature and environment
To protect mountain nature: do not leave any waste, avoid noise, stay on paths, do not disturb wild and grazing animals, leave plants untouched, and respect protected areas. Use public transport or form carpool groups for travel.
