Closed
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 walk past the snowmaking pond and turn right onto the road at the bend where we see it. 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 can only be used when there is sufficient natural snow, we always have a fantastic view of the magnificent landscape, such as the Hochschwab or the Masenberg. After about half 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.
If you are looking for a beautiful panoramic trail and enjoy cross-country skiing for the sheer pleasure of it, then the Eggberg trail on the Joglland trail in St. Jakob im Walde is just right for you.
