Rohrmoos Run
Tour description
Rohrmoos Run is a combination of jogging route and easy trail run. During the first section (about 3 kms) you mostly run on paved surface without big differences in altitude to cover. Once you turn off from the Ahornweg road the route takes you along forest lanes and trails and you then have to cover most of the 272 meters in vertical ascent. Due to its composition and elevation profile, Rohrmoos Run is the perfect route for trail running newbies.
