Announcement

On February 20, 2020, the time had finally come – the trail and the entire project were officially presented to the public. In a 30-minute video, the idea, the motivation behind the trail, and the planned route were explained and introduced. Even back then, the response from the hiking community was – with only a few exceptions – overwhelmingly positive and enthusiastic. There was also the opportunity to follow the first thru-hike “live” via a social media app called Find Penguins – a very smart decision, as time would later prove.
