Pacher loop from Wenigzell, Wenigzell

The Pacher loop starts in Wenigzell and leads along various cycle paths, such as the R8 or "Der große Jogl" to Strallegg and back to Wenigzell.
The tour starts in Wenigzell and leads along the MTB route "Der große Jogl" to the Feistritztalradweg R8. This is particularly well-known for its flat route on a former railroad line and is therefore particularly suitable for families. You return to Wenigzell via Strallegg and the Toten Mann. Legend has it that a pilgrim to Mariazell died at the famous crossroads of many hiking and cycling trails, hence the name "Dead Man". However, this is just one of many stories that are told about this spot.

This tour is only signposted "Pacherrunde" if it is not on the "Der große Jogl" tour. Otherwise, follow the signs for "Der große Jogl".
