Yesterday we were able to freshly groom our trail, both skating and classical, from Bäcker to Tannern/Fleck. Unfortunately, on the village route we could only track skating. The conditions are ideal for skiing.
The Jachenau trail extends over about 32 km of classical trail and about 28 km of skating track.

The circular route of the Weißachtal cross-country ski trail starts relatively flat from the junction in Höfen towards the border town of Aach. Most of the elevation gain is tackled shortly before and after the turning loop. A route without much hustle and bustle for recreational skiers.
