Ingested from OpenStreetMap relation 1281584 (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, permits, and hazards were not taken from OSM tags and must be verified.
OSM 2D length is 65.9 km (relation 1281584; network=rwn, operator=Wanderland Schweiz, ref=36). lengthKm is verified: 65.9 km is 1.85% over the official 64.7 km (https://www.schweizmobil.ch/en/hiking-in-switzerland/route-36; ch.astra.wanderland Route attributes (opendata.swiss langsamverkehr-wanderland-schweiz, dataset 2026-02-25, parsed 2026-09-09)).
