We have finally finished hiking around Vienna following more or less the rundumadum trail signposts (which turned out to be quite challenging at times). What we started in autumn 2012 as a winter hiking project took us two years longer to complete than expected :)
But now we are done:
In 8 stages we covered roughly 150 K in somewhat over 38 hours with roughly 8 hours of breaks:
| Duration | Moving Time | Distance in K | Speed | Total Climb in M | Peak per Stage | |
| Rundumadum 1 | 04:17:36 | 03:13:11 | 13.94 | 3.7 km/h | 465 | 588 |
| Rundumadum 2 | 03:53:43 | 03:22:13 | 13.31 | 3.7 km/h | 397 | 506 |
| Rundumadum 3 | 06:25:04 | 05:30:45 | 24.19 | 3.8 km/h | 766 | 540 |
| Rundumadum 4 | 04:16:24 | 03:33:31 | 18.29 | 4.3 km/h | 40 | 85 |
| Rundumadum 5 | 04:48:29 | 03:29:50 | 18.88 | 5.4 km/h | 66 | 177 |
| Rundumadum 6 | 03:02:18 | 02:26:14 | 12.46 | 5.1 km/h | 18 | 128 |
| Rundumadum 7 | 04:32:21 | 03:40:03 | 19.54 | 5.3 km/h | 105 | 151 |
| Rundumadum 8 | 07:05:21 | 05:20:16 | 28.19 | 5.2 km/h | 565 | 477 |
| Sum | 38:21:16 | 30:36:03 | 148.8 | 2,422 |
Stage 1 led us from the vineyards of Grinzing through the Vienna Forest to Neuwaldegg:
From there stage 2 continued to the Vienna river valley (the tiny river Vienna is named after):
Stage 3 turned out to be a tough and long hike through the Vienna forest into the vineyards south of Vienna:
Stage 4 which I wrongly expected to be dead boring was actually a nice walk crossing Vienna’s south side:
Stage 5 was the stage of complications: one bridge and an entry into national park Lobau closed. It saw us walking many kilometres along the Danube island:
So for stage 6 we again had a lot of Danube island walking in the beginning:
Stage 7 is perhaps the most boring stage. Flat as flat can be, very windy, farmlands on the one side and commercial/industrial complexes on the other side:
Stage 8 finally took us from the vineyards west of Vienna once again some time along the Danube island and from there to the vineyards of Grinzing again:
All in all quite a few surprisingly nice parts of Vienna, some that we knew before would be nice but also some that surprised us. Nice hikes for walking or hiking throughout the year :)
