It's about being active in nature and it doesn't necessarily always have to be in the mountains. Running at lower altitudes such as the Danube region is ideal, especially for pre-season preparation or for beginners! Each stage on the Donausteig takes us further away from the stress of everyday life as we approach our training goal step by step. © Open copyright © ©TourismusverbandDonauOberoesterreichPhilippFreund Trailrunning Shooting, Trailrunner laufen neben der Donau Close copyright ![](https://www.donauregion.at/fileadmin/_processed_/3/0/csm_TrailrunningHaibach93_TourismusverbandDonauOberoesterreichPhilippFreund_8eb3256d44.jpg "©TourismusverbandDonauOberoesterreichPhilippFreund Trailrunning Shooting, Trailrunner laufen neben der Donau") Play video [Video](//www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpdmVfgJon8 "The YouTube video will open in a new window.")
