Description of the route:
The OSP 22 mountain marathon will take you from the starting point (Gmunden town hall square), over the Traunbrücke bridge, and up the steep Ortnersteig track to the Grünberg mountain. You will then continue to Radmoos on the Waldlehrweg path before heading west along forest tracks until you reach the start of the Naturfreundesteig (a steep alpine track!). This will take you up to the Naturfreundehaus mountain hut on the Traunstein mountain and from there you will follow the Mair-Alm track down to Kaisertisch. You will then continue on forest tracks to Karbach and along the eastern shore until you reach the Daxnersteig (another steep alpine track!). You will follow this up to Spitzelsteinalm and then head back down to a place called Rindbach via the hiking trail. The next part of the route leads to the refreshment point in Ebensee town hall square and then over the Kalvarienberg mountain and along the hiking trail to the Kranabethhütte lodge (formerly called the "Naturfreundehaus") on the Feuerkogel mountain plateau. From the Feuerkogel plateau, you will head north and down into the Langbath valley until you reach the "Kreh" refreshment point. You will then continue on the hiking trail towards Hochsteinalm before heading back down along meadow paths into the Mühlbach valley and to the Mühlbach refreshment point. The "Horn" agricultural road will take you up the Grasberg mountain. From there, you will continue along the hiking trail that will take you up the Gmundnerberg mountain and what used to be the Naturfreundehaus. You will then descend via the hiking trail and proceed along the Gmunden esplanade until you reach the finish line.
