The Eggberg trail on the Joglland trail in St. Jakob im Walde, which has been awarded the Styrian cross-country ski trail seal of approval, impresses with its fantastic views of the region.

Cross-country skiing on snow-covered, mostly flat fields with fantastic views of the Joglland - Waldheimat region - that's what the Eggberg trail on the Joglland trail offers. This is actually a hiking trail, as it can only be used when Mother Hulda is kind to the region and provides sufficient natural snow.

We start our cross-country skiing tour on the Eggberg trail in St. Jakob im Walde in the starting area directly behind Gasthof Orthofer
The Eggberg trail is marked with purple signs. We follow these markings after leaving the start/finish arena
We run past the snowmaking pond and turn right onto the road at the bend where we see the road.
Caution: First make sure that no cars are coming and then, for the love of our skis, unbuckle them
On the other side of the road, we continue on our cross-country skis to the right on the Eggberg trail
On this trail, which is only passable when there is sufficient natural snow, we always have a fantastic view of the beautiful landscape, such as the Hochschwab or the Masenberg
After about half of the route, we come to a turning point and then continue straight ahead on mostly flat fields until we reach the road junction again
We cross this again very carefully and then keep to the right, mastering the short ascent and the following descent to Blochplatz
Here we turn sharp left into the next descent. After the last short ascent, past the place for the snow depot, we reach the start/finish arena again

Cross-country skiing equipment!For those who don't have their own equipment to hand, there is an equipment rental shop right at the trail entrance. Here you can choose between standard, premium and racing equipment. A professional waxing service is also offered.
