So, it's done now. This morning we were picked up at our hotel in Sterzing and drove back to Lake Tegernsee. We passed by many places that we walked through. I definitely liked it, there were difficult but also easier sections, and we experienced all kinds of weather. We were a bit tired in the evenings, especially after the challenging stages 5 and 6, but it wasn't like we didn't want to run the next morning.
The hotels all had three or four stars, so we could relax from the tours, and with half board everything was suitable. The hotel that I liked the most was the Hotel Almhof in Hochfügen (the one with the big room), there you have complete peace and the hotel itself is nicely decorated. However, there is no real choice of hiking trails here, so I would describe the location of Hotel Cordial in Achenkirch as the best, as you can start various hikes from there.
All the other participants were friendly and it was nice to have a conversation with them. Some of them continued south from Sterzing to continue hiking and extend their vacation. I have chosen a hotel by Lake Tegernsee for tonight and will only drive home tomorrow.
In total, I ran 121.58km in 31h and 24min in seven days. Of that, 29.1km was uphill and 42.66km was downhill (the rest was flat). The highest point was the Rotbachlspitze at 2897 meters. I took a total of 668 pictures.
