Eggberg trail Joglland trail, St. Jakob im Walde

The Eggberg trail on the Joglland trail in St. Jakob im Walde, which has been awarded the Styrian cross-country ski trail seal of approval, impresses with its fantastic views of the region.
Cross-country skiing on snow-covered, mostly flat fields with fantastic views of the Joglland - Waldheimat region - that's what the Eggberg trail on the Joglland trail offers. This is actually a hiking trail, as it can only be used when Mother Hulda is kind to the region and provides sufficient natural snow.

  • We start our cross-country skiing tour on the Eggberg trail in St. Jakob im Walde in the starting area directly behind Gasthof Orthofer
  • The Eggberg trail is marked with purple signs. We follow these markings after leaving the start/finish arena
  • We run past the snowmaking pond and turn right onto the road at the bend where we see the road.
  • Caution: First make sure that no cars are coming and then, for the love of our skis, unbuckle them
  • On the other side of the road, we continue on our cross-country skis to the right on the Eggberg trail
  • On this trail, which is only passable when there is sufficient natural snow, we always have a fantastic view of the beautiful landscape, such as the Hochschwab or the Masenberg
  • After about half of the route, we come to a turning point and then continue straight ahead on mostly flat fields until we reach the road junction again
  • We cross this again very carefully and then keep to the right, mastering the short ascent and the following descent to Blochplatz
  • Here we turn sharp left into the next descent. After the last short ascent, past the place for the snow depot, we reach the start/finish arena again
If you are looking for a beautiful panoramic trail and enjoy cross-country skiing for the sheer pleasure of it, then the Eggberg trail on the Joglland trail in St. Jakob im Walde is just right for you.
