Moderate road bike route requiring good fitness.
The route takes you through scenic regions around Plauen, the Pöhl dam to the Göltzschtal Bridge and back. This short route is something for aspiring road cyclists or those who want to warm up for a route through the Upper Vogtland. Nevertheless, the route passes some of Vogtland's most beautiful sights.
