Great idea for a C2C-route here in Schleswig-Holstein and congratulations for your "First Known Time"!

I did a almost the same coast to coast crossing one year ago (https://www.strava.com/activities/2934827295) and as soon as I'm back in to longer distances I might aproach this route!

Great route! I will be attempting to run it tomorrow unsupported. Plan is to run under 6hrs.
