Great effort, man! I will be attempting this track end of May as well. This seems very far out of my capability zone, but you never know.  

I'll attempt to set a new supported FKT northbound (standard route) starting next Thursday, June 16th at 6 AM local time. If I get one in time before the attempt, I will carry a tracker and post the livetracking link before starting.

Alright ... here we go then. I will attempt the self supported FKT from Wiesbaden to Bonn starting on Thursday 25.05 at around 08:30 to 09:00. I might post on Instagram (heikolampe), but not sure how much time I make for social media. I will post an edited video a few weeks later, documenting my attempt. There is also a sub-section of this trail that has no self supported FKT yet, so technically, @Patrick129 also holds that one right now.
