Dunkelsteiner Wald Trail

The Dunkelsteiner Wald Trail is a single‑day trail running and hiking event held on 28 March 2026 that offers two distances: the Kloster Trail (42 km) and the Wald Trail (23 km). The routes run through the Dunkelsteinerwald region between the Danube and the Alpine foreland, beginning at Stift Göttweig and Rossatz respectively and converging at the historic finish at Burgruine Aggstein. The course terrain is described as forest paths, gentle hills and viewpoints over the Wachau valley, suitable for walkers, hike‑runners and trail runners. The event is presented by the local organiser Trailwelten and the official event website is the primary source for participant information.

Timing for the event is managed as an optional QR‑code system via the Time2Win platform rather than as a mandatory official race timing service, and finisher certificates can be downloaded from the Time2Win account. Both distances list open start windows on race day (Kloster Trail early morning, Wald Trail later in the morning) and a common finish deadline at 19:00. The event page indicates the 2026 edition is sold out and directs participants to the organiser for contact and queries.
