GELITA Trail Marathon Heidelberg

Heidelberg will offer the backdrop for one of the toughest and most beautiful marathon races in Germany this October. On the 42-kilometer course, which mostly leads over uneven forest paths and trails, the participants have to climb 1,500 heights and climb three peaks. The ultimate challenge: After 35 kilometers, the route takes you across the heavenly ladder, a 850-step sandstone staircase leading up to the king’s chair.
