Report

Beautiful loop done in beautiful weather (counterclockwise). No water sources on the ridge, so only near start and end. Route described as 21km and that's what the GPS track shows but my Strava showed a little over 24km in the end. Only a small part (ca. half a km) of this had to do with a rerouting near the end, the rest (over 2 km) was accumulated steadily along the route (see my Blauberge_Runde_FKT_06_2025.gpx track, which may be more up to date than original). Going clockwise, you'll gain most elevation before the half distance mark but after that, the route drags on over trails that are difficult to run in parts. In addition to the slightly technical and exposed ridge, it is especially the circumnavigation of the last peak of the ridge (Halserspitz) that adds difficulties. This circumnavigation seems to me an odd route setting choice given that it skips a prominent peak that would have been a nice addition to the trail and does so via difficult trails (partially rocky, partially faint and hard to follow). It does lead you into a beautiful marshy valley with a little Alm.
