Preparation and points to check

Differences and information still uncertain

These items are shown explicitly so an approximation is never presented as official data.

  • The 440 km distance is a commonly used headline figure; other sources cite up to 467 km depending on the measurement method and whether lake crossings and road sections are included.
  • The GPX keeps the 23 trail sections published in the embedded STF map; lake crossings, roads and other breaks are not invented.
  • STF states that the map data are maintained by the respective trail administrators; local conditions still need to be checked.
