AVA Trail Ratings

All AVA sanctioned volksmarching (walking) events have a trail difficulty rating assigned to the route.  The rating is a numerical value on a scale of 1 through 5, with 5 being the most difficult.  Sometimes a plus sign "+" is also used to indicate that the route is a bit more difficult than the definitions below might indicate.  The rating is a subjective assignment and everyone might not agree with it.  Use it as a guide.

1

An easy route. This type of route is normally on pavement or well-maintained trails. There are no significant hills. The trail is usually suitable for strollers and wheelchairs.
2 A fairly easy route. This type of route normally has some pavement and some woodland and poorly maintained field trails. There is no significant difficulty because of hills. This trail is probably not suitable for strollers and wheelchairs.
3 A moderate route. This type of route is in a setting with some difficult terrain and one or more substantial hills and/or steps. The suitability of this trail for strollers and wheelchairs is questionable.
4 A difficult route. This type of route is in a natural setting with poorly maintained trails and steep or hilly inclines. This trail is not suitable for strollers, wheelchairs or people with severe health problems.
5 A very difficult route. This type of route is on rough fields, trails, or roads. There are many steep hills, high altitude, very rough and uneven terrain, and steep or unstable inclines. This trail is not suitable for any person who is not in good physical condition.
