Joglland Loipe Sankt Jakob im Walde - Hiking trail, St. Jakob im Walde

• We start the almost 10-kilometer-long Joglland trail, which gives the entire trail network in St. Jakob im Walde its name, in the start/finish area behind Gasthof Orthofer
• The trail has also been awarded the Styrian cross-country ski trail seal of approval and guarantees the highest quality!

• We stick to the red signs on our loop. At the beginning, we leave the start and finish area of the cross-country skiing center past the snowmaking pond and now follow the beautifully groomed trail through the romantic forest landscape with some straight sections and occasional bends over the so-called “Blochplatz” to the Riegler Kohlstatt crossroads, where we continue straight ahead to the Fütterung crossroads.

• Here we keep to the right to reach the highest point of the trail, the Ochsenkopf, after just over 3 km
• The idyllic rest area invites you to take a break
• Here it is also a good opportunity to see if we can spot one or two skiers on the St. Jakob im Walde family ski mountain
• After the long ascent, we can now recover well before we come to the striking turn, which takes us back towards the start and finish

• Immediately after the turnaround, we have a wonderful view of the Stuhleck, which we can enjoy on a short descent
• We try to gain some momentum from this descent for the next ascent, which takes us back to the Fütterung junction
• Here we branch off to the right and then keep right again after about 400 meters
• After a short ascent, we reach the so-called Blochplatz again, where we turn right into a short descent
• We then pass the site of the summer snow depot (snow farming) and master one last tight bend before arriving back at the cross-country ski center, the central starting point for the entire network of trails
• After this wonderful cross-country skiing tour, we have probably earned a stop at Gasthof Orthofer
