The route begins at Monks Cowl, Maloti Drakensberg Park World Heritage Site.

Partendo dal campo da calcio di Ornavasso, il trail passa prima all'interno del paese per poi intraprendere la salita verso il Santuario del Boden. Una volta giunti qui si prende la via per il km verticale (1000 m di dislivello in circa 3,9 km) fino ad arrivare all'Alpe Cortevecchio. Lasciato il rifugio alle spalle si prosegue passando dalla Bocchetta ed infine raggiungendo la cima del Monte Massone.

The Heron way is a series of eight walks through pleasant countryside linking nature reserves, country parks, tourist sites, lovely villages and the best viewpoints mainly in the Doncaster Metropolitan Borough. Together these walks create a 30 mile leisure walk, designed primarily for walking in sections, or as a one or two day challenge walk readily accessible by public transport from Doncaster or by car.

This loop starts in Ankeny Iowa and is a continuous bike trail loop going through Ankeny, Johnston, Grimes, Waukee, Dallas Center, Minburn, Perry, Bouton, Woodward, Madrid, Slater, and Sheldahl utilizing paved bike paths through each community with most of the route consisting of the very well known High Trestle Trail and Raccoon River Valley Trail.

You’ll be in the middle of the country for most of the route, however, the large amount of communities passed through make this a solid option for an unsupported, self supported, or supported attempt.

The "Saalfelder Höhenweg" trail connects the town of Saalfeld with the ridge of Rennsteig. From Saalfeld train station, the trail leads through the town center and continues afterwards uphill to the "Schwarmblick" viewpoint and onto the "Saalfelder Höhe". Passing the "Bankzeitweg" trail in Arnsgereuth, the "Silbersee" lake, and the "Rotschnabelaussicht" viewpoint in Reichmannsdorf, the trail reaches the Leipzig Tower in Schmiedefeld. From there, the final kilometers of the trail lead up to the main ridge of the Thuringian Forest.
