Masenberg circuit from Wenigzell

Open
On the tour up the Masenberg - starting from Wenigzell in the Joglland - Waldheimat region - you literally go up and down: 40 kilometres that have it all!
The tour starts in Wenigzell and leads along the MTB tour "The Grand Jogl" to the Masenberg. On the outward journey you could also make a detour to the Wildwiese, widely known for the lookout post and the Wildwiesenhütte. At the Masenberg there is also a connecting trail in the direction of Pöllauberg. At the summit, at around 1260 metres above sea level, you are also rewarded for the climb with a fantastic view, and before you head back to Wenigzell you can have a snack at the "Olmstoll".

This tour is only signposted as "Masenbergrunde" if it does not follow the "The Grand Jogl" tour. Otherwise follow the signs for "The Grand Jogl".

We start our tour up the Masenberg in Wenigzell at the village square. On the way there, we follow the signs for "Der große Jogl", as we are on a section of it. In the centre of Wenigzell we drive past the parish church and the Joglland Oasis until we reach the local history museum. Here we turn left and follow the road along a stretch of forest. After about 2.5 kilometres we turn right towards the Bergler Stub'n inn. We drive to the inn and follow the road to the next piece of forest. At the next bend, we stay to the right and continue to the "Toter Mann" crossroads. Here we turn sharp left, pass the wild meadow (or take a detour up it) until we reach the Kreuzwirt inn. At this junction we follow the signs towards Masenberg. We enter a wooded area and stay on this mostly flat road for about two kilometres. After a wayside shrine on the left, we turn right and drive past several farms and Christmas tree crops. At the next crossroads in a wood, keep to the left. We now begin the ascent to the summit of the Masenberg. On the way back we pass the Olmstoll and then the Glückskapelle. Return to the Kreuzwirt along the same path.

For the way back to Wenigzell, we turn right at the Kreuzwirt inn and then immediately left, briefly onto the main road. Now we follow the road past the Kroneggerhof, the home of the founder of the Marienkrankenhaus in Vorau, to the next crossroads. There we turn left. After about 1.2 kilometres we come back to the main road, turn left here and then immediately leave it again, after which we turn right. We continue along the path, which shortly afterwards joins the already familiar route at the Bergler Stub'n inn.

From here we follow the tour "The Grand Jogl" back to Wenigzell.

For those looking for a mountain bike tour lasting several days, we recommend "The Grand Jogl": 193 km in the Joglland-Waldheimat region!
Timetables and travel information can be found at Österreichische Bundesbahnen (ÖBB) or at Verkehrsauskunft Verbundlinie. For local transportation we recommend the SAM-Sammeltaxi Oststeiermark.
