This is a non-competitive event, where fun and family like atmosphere are the objectives. The Sunday’s activities include a poker “race” - not the fastest wins, instead the best hand will make it. This will be a lot of fun.

The routes are not signposted. Each participant will receive a gpx track a few days prior the event. Along the route there will be up to four rest stops with gorgeous offerings, and as finisher the tasty regional beer “Tannenzaepfle” awaits you.
