Altitude weather delta
High 1,544 m minus low 558 m is 986 m of relief on this record. A standard tropospheric lapse of 6.5 °C per 1,000 m implies about 6.4 °C cooler at the high point than the valley, all else equal.
That is a model (International Standard Atmosphere environmental lapse), not a forecast and not a trail-closure. Wind, snow, and storms stay in Hazards.

Catalog entry
- SAC T2
- Mountain hiking. Continuous trail, some steep ground, sure-footedness helpful.
- YDS Class 1
- Class 1. Walking on an established path; low fall risk.
Stored distance is 87.9 km. The chart axis follows the DEM sample (82.83 km), not the published line length.
Ingested from OpenStreetMap relation 9482785 (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 87.9 km (relation 9482785). lengthKm is verified: 87.9 km is within ±3% of the official 88 km (https://www.almenland.at/bewegen-erleben/wandern/schwierige-wege/weg-der-100000-schritte/, checked 2026-09-10). Official km is the ±3% cross-check, not this DataPoint.
DEM high 1,544 m / low 558 m. GLO-30 cumulative ascent 3,375 m (10 m hysteresis).
typicalDays 6 is the official stage count (Alpenverein 88 km / 6 Etappen; almenland.at also prints 90 km over the same 6 stages, checked 2026-09-10). OSM 87.9 km is within ±3% of both. Not a duration statute.
Water was not mapped to named WaterSource points (no honest atFraction).
