Masenberg circuit from Wenigzell, Wenigzell

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".
