Ingested from OpenStreetMap relation 18112672 (ODbL). The mapped line and 2D length are derived from that geometry. Ascent, descent, and high/low points are sampled from Copernicus GLO-30 (copernicus-dem:glo-30) and remain provisional. Water was not taken from OSM tags.
OSM 2D length is 45.7 km (relation 18112672). lengthKm is verified: 45.7 km matches the official 45.7 km (https://www.oberoesterreich.at/oesterreich-tour/detail/430009122/benedikt-pilgerrundweg-kremstal.html, Länge, checked 2026-09-10). The Alpenverein Hauptwanderwege index rounds this walk to 50 km; the route page wins on conflict. Official km is the ±3% cross-check, not this DataPoint.
DEM high 835 m / low 373 m. GLO-30 cumulative ascent 1,140 m (10 m hysteresis). The tourism page does not publish a comparable ascent figure; Copernicus is not replaced by an invented one.
