A journey through Joglland

In four easy daily stages, which can also be completed individually, the route crosses the whole of Joglland and ends high up on the alpine pastures of the Fischbach Alps.
Of course, Peter Rosegger's forest home is also “touched upon”, as it is inextricably linked to Joglland.
