St. Jakober round, Ratten
A hike from the power-giving village of Ratten around the flower village of St. Jakob im Walde, past a mill and with many views of the Joglland - Waldheimat region.

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.
