L2 Reichraming - Dirnbach Trail

Description:
A technically easy circular route of 7.2km in length with about 175m of climbing. Above the Reichraming brook, the trail heads downhill along forest paths and back along a narrow path (Schützen-Steig).

Directions:
The tour starts at Reichraming station. We cross the tracks at the underpass and run along Meierhoferstraße. Past the tennis court and through the residential area, we turn left onto Museumsweg and head up into the forest. There is a lovely view of the centre of Reichraming. Follow the forest path downhill, always above the Reichraming stream, until you reach Dirnbach. Here we leave the forest path and follow the asphalt road downhill to the Dirnbach chapel. Cross the bridge over the stream and keep to the right until you come to a farmhouse and the Schützen path. This narrow path leads us back to Reichraming. Be careful here as the path is partly blocked by fallen trees. After the path we cross the stream again and walk back into the village on Dirnbachstraße, past the Schallau Arena.

Equipment:
The required equipment always depends on the particular tour and the weather conditions. Regarding the food: This is very individual and it is recommended to have rather too much than too little with equipment and food. For a 5km round in the valley you need less than for a demanding tour in the mountains. The weather can change quickly and if you are not constantly on the move or need to take a break, for example, warming clothing is of great importance.

We have a general checklist for you here:

• Weather-appropriate running gear for the season - weather forecast - region - elevation. This includes:
