Arnoweg
Encyclopedia : A : AR : ARN : Arnoweg
The Arnoweg is an approximately 1200 km long-distance trail through the Austrian Alps. The highest point is atop the Sonnblick (3106m) near Bad Gastein, and in total the trail experiences over 57,000m of elevation gain. The highest elevations lie in the western portion of the trail, in the Kalkberge, Pinzgauer Grasberge and Keesberge. The Arnoweg forms a loop which passes through such towns as Salzburg, Neukirchen, Bad Gastein and Nuβdorf. It runs predominately through Austria, although two stages pass through Germany's Berchtesgadener Alps and over the Königssee. The trail can be completed in just over 60 stages, many of which end at alpine huts run by the Österreichische Alpenverein. It can be shortened by just under a week by crossing from Fuschl immediately to Salzburg in two stages and thus avoiding 7 stages in the relatively low-lying Alpenvorland.
