Open

Challenging gravel tour that takes you to the most beautiful places in the Joglland-Waldheimat region.

The Grand Jogl guarantees you a good portion of gravel, sweat and altitude. It's not about progress tracking and data analysis, but about you, the adventure, the challenge and the thrill of "real", original cycling. And exactly where the fox and the hare say good night to each other: in the breathtaking lost places of the Styrian Joglland.

The certified Bed & Bike establishments along the route are particularly suitable for overnight stays on this multi-day tour. Due to the individual division of the stages (2-4 days), this tour is ideally suited for all cyclists, extreme cyclists may complete the tour with its approximately 200 km and 5600 metres of altitude difference in one day.

A special service along the tour "Der große Jogl" is the luggage transport - simply cycle carefree, without annoying extra luggage. While you are on the road, your luggage will be taken to your next stage destination (by 5:00 pm at the latest).

Etappe 1: Birkfeld - Vorau

Ab Birkfeld fahren wir rund vier Kilometer auf dem R8 Feistritztalradweg und zweigen dann rechts nach Strallegg ab. Vorbei am Feuerwehrhaus erreichen wir den Ortskern und fahren weiter Richtung Skilift. Nach der Jausenstation Posch halten wir uns allerdings rechts und fahren durch ein Waldstück weiter nach Wenigzell.

Den Ort Wenigzell erreichen wir nach einer kurzen Fahrt, fast vorbei an der Bratlalm, auf Waldwegen und Gemeindestraßen. Im Ort angekommen wartet nicht nur ein Bett & Bike-Betrieb (Mein Hotel Fast) auf uns Radler, sondern auch weitere Gasthäuser.

Auf der Tour „Der Jogl“ - Gravel Challenge, haben wir nun rund 92 Kilometer und 2260 Höhenmeter absolviert.

Along the tour, huts and rustic inns invite you to take a short break.

Timetables and travel information can be found at Österreichische Bundesbahnen (ÖBB) or at Verkehrsauskunft Verbundlinie. For local transportation we recommend the SAM-Sammeltaxi Oststeiermark.
