The Kahler Asten Trail Marathon, short distance, starts at the Schützenhalle and initially stretches with a moderate climb over the Herhagen to descend into the Nordenau valley. This is followed by a significant ascent that crosses the terrain of the Astenberg ski area. After a few downhill sections, there is another challenging ascent along natural paths up to the Wesenberg. A subsequent rapid trail descent leads to the lowest section of the route, which is followed by an extended ascent almost up to the Astenberg summit. A longer descent, which is varied by a charming trail, offers the opportunity to recover before the final, steep ascent on paved terrain.
