Roadbook
The trail over the Hörnle summits (front, middle, rear Hörnle) is the most playful part of the circuit: slightly technical, undulating, and with constantly changing perspectives – exactly what trail runners love.
The downhill is challenging: narrow, partly rooty, and less frequented – here you need sure footing and focus. After that, it goes back to faster forest roads towards the valley, where you can finish the round off at a relaxed pace.
