Part of the Kepler Track, from the Holiday Park to the control gates and starting from there. Then from the control gates to Brod Bay to Luxmore Hut. Some lunch stops at Brod Bay and Luxmore Hut and a visit to Luxmore Caves before returning the same way. Easy walking track, asphalted and gravel before the forest and mostly gravel and dirt paths from the control gates onwards. No real surprises, just a shallow incline, some mud and a very long time of walking through woods before reaching the treeline and taking in the magnificent views. Approximately 40 kilometres of walking. Cloudy and grey weather and cold at the top, but dry and overall great hiking weather. Walking time, approximately 9,5 hours in total.

About the Calorie Calculator

Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
