The "Fairytale Wenigzell" attracts visitors to Joglland with numerous culinary specialties and a wide range of leisure activities.  A Styrian snack at the Bratlalm, a round at the newly expanded barefoot park or an hour of relaxation in the Joglland Oasis - these are just a few examples of what else awaits you in Wenigzell.
The tour connects two communities in the middle of Joglland: Wenigzell and Waldbach. You can cycle comfortably along the newly built connecting path. In Waldbach, the Wiedner's trick fountains await visitors as a further highlight.
