The Arzergrunde in the Joglland - Waldheimat region also partly follows the paths of the approximately 187 kilometer long route "The Grand Jogl". The Arzbergrunde, on the other hand, is perfectly suited for a day tour on the bike. Numerous refreshment stops in the villages or at the Arzberg hut invite you to take a break. If you like, you can also pay a visit to the Kräftereich in St. Jakob im Walde or the water games in Waldbach. In Wenigzell, the Barefoot Park or the Joglland Oasis offer further opportunities for a stop or as a change from a day on the bike!

This tour is only signposted with "Arzbergrunde" if it does not run on the tour "The Grand Jogl". Otherwise, follow the signs "The Grand Jogl".

Author’s recommendation

Make a detour to the summit cross on foot at Arzberg - you will be rewarded with a fantastic view!
