    The tour starts at the village café and immediately afterwards takes you over the Feistrizbrücke bridge on the hiking trail number 915 up to Gasthof Orthofer. Once you reach the top, you are rewarded with a panoramic view of the Joglland-Waldheimat region. After some refreshments at the "Wiaz'Haus", the hike leads along parts of the Joglland cross-country ski trail to the Feichtenhofer watermill and into the village of St. Jakob. The return route takes you past the Berger family hotel and via Gasthof Orthofer to Ratten.

    Author’s recommendation

    We recommend taking a break at the Feichtenhof water mill. Here you can enjoy the untouched nature of Joglland and experience the operation of the mill in the summer months.

    A few tips on correct and fair behaviour in the forest: (Source: www.bundesforste.at )

    • Hikers should avoid visits to the forest about 1.5 hours before sunrise and after sunset, as wild animals are particularly active during this time.

    • Camping and lighting fires are strictly forbidden in the forest!
    • In principle, every person is allowed to pick 2 kg of mushrooms and berries per day for personal use. It is only prohibited if the forest owner expressly forbids it.
    •  
    • Small backpack with water bottle (+ provisions)
    • Sturdy shoes
    • Appropriate clothing - if possible several layers - "onion principle".
    • Rain and sun protectionWalking sticks as required
    • Mobile phone
    • Small first aid kit
    • Route description
    • Before starting the hike, check the possibilities for refreshments, including opening times, or pack appropriate food and drink.
