    Challenging, off-the beaten-track, trail following the faintest-possible tracks whenever possible. We met very few other people along the way, except around the Rursee. Great trail to spot wildlife.

    The StauSeeSteig is a fantastic, challenging multi-day hike that has been developed by the makers of the Dutch Mountain Trail. This trail really goes off the beaten track and we met very few others on the trail with the exception of the section around the Rursee. We covered the 124 km in 5 days which felt right as the terrain is not always easy going. As a bonus, there is quite a bit of wildlife to enjoy. Start and finish are easily reached by train. Highly recommended trail!
