Across Borders of Fantasy and the Ore Mountains
Join the Virtual Karl May Run 2025, organized by Ženský spolek as part of the Year with Karl May.
Run anytime between November 10 and 30, 2025 – on your own, with friends, or with family.
Choose between two symbolic routes:
🏃♀️ 10 km – Smugglers’ Trail through the Ore Mountains
🏃 21 km – Across the Borders of Imagination, linking Bohemia and Saxony.
This run bridges motion and imagination – just as Karl May crossed the line between reality and fiction, you can cross real borders today.
