The second stage of the touring mountain bike route "Der große Jogl" in the Joglland - Waldheimat region leads from St. Jakob im walde to the northernmost municipality of eastern Styria, Fischbach.

The stage starting point St. Jakob im Walde is also a flower road community and winter sports resort. The family ski mountain and the Joglland cross-country ski trail offer the best training opportunities in winter. Via Rettenegg and Ratten the tour continues to the Pretul, the second highest peak of the "Großer Jogl". The tour continues to Peter Rosegger's forest home, more precisely to St. Kathrein am Hauenstein with his favorite church. You then drive over the Alpl to the stage destination Fischbach. Fischbach is also a Flower Road community, but also a high altitude health resort and Easter bunny village.

A special service along the tour "Der große Jogl" is the luggage transport - just cycle carefree, without annoying extra luggage. While you are on the way, your luggage will be brought to your next stage destination (by 17:00 at the latest).
