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.

A few tips on correct and fair behavior in the forest: (Source: www.bundesforste.at )
Hikers should avoid visiting the forest approx. 1.5 hours before sunrise and after sunset, as wild animals are particularly active at this time.
Plastic bottles, handkerchiefs, cigarette butts etc. have no place in the forest! Please make sure that you do not leave any garbage in the forest.
Camping and making fires is strictly forbidden in the forest!
In principle, every person in the forest is allowed to collect 2 kg of mushrooms and berries per day for their own use. It is only prohibited if the forest owner expressly forbids it.

Small rucksack with water bottle (+ provisions)
Sturdy footwear
Appropriate clothing - preferably several layers - “onion principle”
Rain and sun protection
Hiking poles as required
Cell phone
