    Jauerling Loop: From Weiten to Raxendorf

    From Prangerplatz in Weiten, our path leads up to Eibetsberg. Over Schießgrub and the Kulm, it goes to the idyllic Zehentegg. We then continue through blooming fields to Heiligenblut, where the picturesque pilgrimage church invites you to visit. Always along the main road, we finally reach the rural Raxendorf, where our stage ends at the market square.

    Author’s recommendation

    A visit to the Heiligenblut pilgrimage church (between Weiten and Raxendorf) is highly recommended.

    At the High Jauerling, the nature park offers a trail. The path "over us the wide, wide sky" is perfect for a walk and provides information about the Jauerling, the nature park communities, and the flora and fauna of the region. Younger hikers are also motivated to walk through the forest along the 10 stations, which can be explored with an app. More information (including map and audio sample) available at .
