In the middle of Joglland lies the sunny municipality of Strallegg at around 849m above sea level. From there, the Bründlweg trail leads to the adjoining R8 Feistritztal cycle path and the cozy Seehütte Töglhofer snack station.
The municipality of Strallegg has already received several awards for its beautiful floral decorations and can therefore also call itself a member of the Styrian Flower Route (www.blumenstrasse.at).

These and other bike tours become a special experience with an e-bike.E-bike rental in Strallegg: Gasthof Almblick, Feistritz 59, 8192 Strallegg, Tel.: +43 (0)3174/2223

Strallegg, Restaurant/Hotel "Der Almblick" (free)
  • We start at the Gasthof Almblick
  • Here we borrow the e-bikes - making the tour a special experience
  • After approx. 1 kilometer we keep right and follow the asphalted municipal road towards Strallegg
  • Here we pass numerous wonderful viewpoints. At a sharp bend above the Strallegg village sign, we turn right onto the L 458 main road into the village of Strallegg and follow the main road until approx. 50 m after the Landring Lagerhaus petrol station
  • Here we turn right onto the municipal road “Bründlweg” and follow the route
  • Here, too, there are some wonderful viewpoints into the Feistritztal valley
  • After approx. 3.5 km we reach the B72 main road and turn left
  • Take extra care here, as this road is quite busy
  • After approx. 400 m we leave the B72 after the bridge over the Feistritz to the right and after a short distance we reach the R8 cycle path and keep left towards Birkfeld. Cycle along the flat R8 (the former route of the narrow-gauge railroad) to the 1st Feistritz reservoir and turn left to the Seehütte Töglhofer snack station
  • As the sloping path and the narrow bridge over the reservoir are also used by hikers, it is advisable to get off the e-bike briefly from the R8 until after the bridge (approx. 50 m) and after approx. 200 m we have reached our destination
  • We then continue along the R8 toward Birkfeld and, after about 1,200 meters, turn left at a bridge toward the federal highway. From here, the route of the “Großer Jogl” follows, passing through the Wagen Ranch and back via Strallegg to the Hotel der Almblick.
