Kahler Asten Trail Marathon 60 Km Middle Distance

The middle distance of over 60 km of the Kahler Asten Trail Marathon starts at the Schützenhalle and leads briefly uphill over the Herhagen into the valley of Nordenau. This is followed by a steep ascent through the ski area of Astenberg. After several descents, it goes up again over beautiful trails to the Wesenberg. After a steep trail descent, which takes us to the lowest point of the route, there is another long ascent almost to Astenberg. Now it's time to gather strength on a longer descent, which is interrupted by a beautiful trail, for the steep final climb, which is paved for the last 400 meters. From here, the route leads 5 km over undulating terrain. Now comes a long descent with 3 small technical sections to Obersorpe. On the following flat section, you recover to climb to the next height again. After a longer easy descent, a steep single trail follows to Oberkirchen. Now you drive towards Lengenbeck to recover a bit after a climb on a longer descent. 3 km before the finish, a steep climb of 300 m requires the last reserves of strength.
