I started in Wolkenstein around 9:00 a.m. and completed the Sella Ronda in a clockwise direction. While the trails themselves are not particularly enjoyable, the spectacular views more than make up for it. In hindsight, the late start wasn't ideal given the heat. There were plenty of water fountains along the route, although two were already dry due to the drought.
I gave it my all, but I had to slow down on the final two descents due to knee pain. The last climb was especially challenging, with the sun beating down hard.
From Kurfar to Passo Campolongo, I had to take a short detour via trail no. 27 at the beginning because an active construction site completely blocked the trail. I encountered three additional construction sites along the route, but I was able to pass through them without any issues. Overall, the route was in good condition.
