The Hausloipe is the ideal trail for connoisseurs and families on the Jogllandloipe in St. Jakob im Walde, which has been awarded the Styrian cross-country ski trail seal of approval.
The house trail invites you to enjoy - the trail covers around 43 meters in altitude and rewards you with a wonderful view of the Pretul and the Stuhleck. The Pretul is characterized by wind turbines that can be seen for miles around. With 21 turbines, it is the largest high alpine wind farm in Central Europe. On the local cross-country ski trail, you can use the classic technique as well as skating.

  • We start at the house trail, as with the entire Jogllandloipe trail network, in the start/finish arena at Gasthof Orthofer in St. Jakob im Walde
  • On the house trail, we have to cover around 3.3 kilometers and always follow the purple markings
  • Right at the start, we run past the snowmaking pond before we have to tackle our first ascent after a short flat section
  • We then run briefly on the flat before preparing for the descent
  • We try to carry the momentum with us and enter a small section of forest after the so-called Blochplatz
  • At the Riegler Kohlstatt crossroads, at around 1132 meters above sea level, we turn sharp left to stay on the marked house trail
  • After a short time, we reach the Blochplatz again
  • On the right-hand side of the trail, we head straight up a small incline before coming to a short descent with a right-hand bend
  • The last section of the trail takes us past the snowmaking pond and back to the start/finish arena.
