[[File:Joglland bei Fischbach.jpg|thumb|The Joglland near [Fischbach](/source/Fischbach_(Styria))]]
The '''Joglland''' is a heavily forested low mountain region in the [Hartberg-Fürstenfeld](/source/Bezirk_Hartberg-F%C3%BCrstenfeld) and [Weiz districts](/source/Bezirk_Weiz) of northeastern [Styria](/source/Styria), Austria. Today it forms the tourist region of ''Joglland–Waldheimat (Kraftspendedörfer Joglland)''.

Its name is probably derived from ''[Jakob](/source/Jacob_(name))'' (perhaps from the village of [Sankt Jakob im Walde](/source/Sankt_Jakob_im_Walde)) which, in this region is often corrupted to ''Joggl'' or ''Jackl''. The region is described in the literature by the Styrian poet, [Peter Rosegger](/source/Peter_Rosegger), who grew up as a farmer's son in [Alpl](/source/Alpl_(Krieglach)).

== Location and landscape ==
thumb|upright=1.6|Location of the region of ''Joglland - Waldheimat'', between Vienna and Graz, southeast of the Semmering
The Joglland lies within [East Styria](/source/East_Styrian_Hills) between the [Wechsel](/source/Wechsel), the upper [Feistritz](/source/Feistritz_(Lafnitz)) valley, the [Safen](/source/Safen)bach and the area of [Hartberg](/source/Hartberg)-[Friedberg](/source/Friedberg_(Styria)). It forms a sub-group of the [Prealps East of the Mur](/source/Prealps_East_of_the_Mur).

To the north lies the [Semmering](/source/Semmering_Pass) region, to the northeast is the region known as the [Bucklige Welt](/source/Bucklige_Welt_(Lower_Austria)). To the northwest are the [Fischbach Alps](/source/Fischbach_Alps), and beyond them the lower [Mürz](/source/M%C3%BCrz) valley. To the west and southwest are the [Graz Highlands](/source/Graz_Highlands). To the south are the [East Styrian Hills](/source/East_Styrian_Hills), and to the southeast is [South Burgenland](/source/South_Burgenland) – The latter already forming part of the Southeast Alpine Foreland, facing the [Pannonian Plain](/source/Pannonian_Plain).

The highest points of this region, with its ''[Mittelgebirge](/source/Mittelgebirge)'' character are the summits of the [Wechsel](/source/Wechsel) massif – such as the Hochwechsel (1,742 m), Herrenstein (1,448 m) and Hochkogel (1,314 m) – the Wildwiesen (1,254 m), the [Masenberg](/source/Masenberg) (1,261 m) and the [Rabenwaldkogel](/source/Rabenwaldkogel) (1,281 m).

The region is drained by the Feistritz and [Lafnitz](/source/Lafnitz_(river)) rivers.
