8. Hochkönigman Trailrunningfestival

----

For the 7th time: Trail running with one of the most beautiful backdrops in the world. For the 7th time: Trail running in the toughest of conditions. For the 7th time: feelings of elation for thousands of enthusiastic trail runners. This is what the Hochkönigman is all about!

Over the course of a few years, the Hochkönigman has become one of the most popular trail-running festivals in Europe. This comes as no surprise as the Hochkönigman Festival trails offer athletes a perfect challenge of a very special kind. Trail running is not for everyone, but we would like to have all YOU with us!

The breathtaking scenery and demanding routes offered by the Hochkönigman attract its competitors, men and women alike. The Hochkönigman is perfect for everyone who relishes the thought of taking on the challenge of a natural trail through the beautiful mountains of the Hochkönigman massif. The Hochkönigman is waiting for YOU.

For the public, the new grounds offer more space to be there and for the varied show program of the Hochkönigman. The gastronomy and trade fair area should not be missed, and in 2021 new products and top products for trail running will also be on offer here.
