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

For those who don't have their own equipment, there is an equipment rental shop right at the trail entrance. Here you can choose between standard, premium and racing equipment.

There is also a waxing and ski service and a Nordic store at the entrance to the cross-country skiing school - here you have the opportunity to test and then buy the latest products (skis, boots, poles, etc.).
