Be part of the opening and the inaugural walk
"The official starting signal sounds on September 22 at the Rabenberg – but the experience begins earlier: together we'll walk the first stage from Checkpoint Blatenský Vrch to the Rabenberg, where the Testival hosted within EURORANDO provides the fitting finish line.
Around 1 pm the newly designed information panel will be unveiled there, marking another Stoneman milestone: at the Rabenberg the mountain bike and hike routes will meet from now on. Be there when a new chapter of Stoneman history begins, and be part of the first crossing! We'll not only keep this special day in our memories, but also capture it in the new image film."
From the Blatenský vrch (Plattenberg) along the first stage to Checkpoint Rabenberg – crossing the border through the UNESCO World Heritage Site Erzgebirge/Krušnohoří.
