Getting there

Without a car

Travel by train or intercity coach to the nearest regional hub, then continue by local transport to the settlement near the trailhead. A pre-booked transfer may be required for a remote trailhead. Because the start and finish are in different places, check the return service in advance, arrange a transfer or leave a second vehicle near the finish.

By car

Use the federal or regional road to the nearest settlement, then only an open local access road towards the trailhead. Check gravel-road conditions after rain. Because the start and finish are in different places, check the return service in advance, arrange a transfer or leave a second vehicle near the finish.

Parking

Leave the car beside a station, tourist base, visitor centre or in the last settlement. Keep barriers, logging roads and private entrances clear.
