9. Wald-Marathon

Immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of nature at the Forest Marathon, an extraordinary adventure for ambitious hikers and runners alike. This 45.1-kilometer journey winds through spectacular rock formations, deep valleys, and vast stretches of dense forest that stretch as far as the eye can see.
The route takes you over six challenging peaks: Mischberg, Rauhberg, Höllenberg, Dimberg, Immersberg, and Winterberg, with a total elevation gain of 1402 meters. Each step on this trail offers panoramic views and an intimate connection with nature that is both invigorating and humbling.
Unlike traditional races where speed reigns supreme, the Forest Marathon celebrates the journey rather than just the destination. It's about sharing the experience with like-minded individuals who appreciate the beauty of the natural world around them. The race organizers understand this philosophy and offer a unique service: several exit points along the route where participants can opt out if they feel it’s time to conclude their adventure.
For those choosing to complete the full course, the event promises an unparalleled hiking experience that combines physical challenge with serene surroundings. Whether you’re tackling rugged terrain or enjoying peaceful stretches through lush woodland, each kilometer brings a new perspective and sense of awe.
Participants can also look forward to seamless transportation back to either the start line or finish area from any exit point they choose, all included in your entry fee. For more details on this unique event, visit www.wald-marathon.de.
