The trails connect the most beautiful cycle paths in Thermenland, Eastern Styria and the Joglland cycle route “Der große Jogl” with the Wexl Trails in Lower Austria. Varied panoramic and shared trails that can be ridden both uphill and downhill await you! 

Numerous huts along the routes invite you to rest and relax, and designated parking spaces are available for those arriving by car. A ticket is required to use the Wexl Trails, which is valid for both the Styrian and Lower Austrian routes. These tickets are available at the participating communities, partner businesses such as restaurants and online at www.wexltrails.at. The trails are open from May 15 to November 1, offering a long season for all mountain bike enthusiasts.
