Easy to moderate road cycling route. Good fitness required for beginners.
The route crosses the Vogtland Mill District and the naturally romantic Burgstein area with almost 60 kilometers. From just under 340 meters elevation, you climb to 630 meters over about 25 kilometers and then have around 35 kilometers of downhill ride to enjoy the landscape.
Plauen Station
Plauen Station
The starting point is Plauen Upper Station. Due to the downhill, the first destination is the corner of Straßberger Straße following the B92, where we turn right towards Straßberg along the White Elster. From Straßberg, we ride along the Rosenbach to Kloschwitz, Rodersdorf, Steins, and Schwand to Krebes. A visit to the Hermann Vogel House and the Burgstein ruin is worthwhile here. The route then continues to Gutenfürst and Grobau to Misslareuth, the corner point of the route. Along the Saxon-Thuringian border, we ride right towards Reuth, Stelzen, Kornbach, and Schönberg. Just before the town (before the railway), it continues towards Leubnitz, Rössitz, Kobitzschwalde, Neuendorf, back through Plauen to the Upper Station.
The road cycling route was tested with road cyclists. Nevertheless, personal fitness must be carefully considered and critically assessed by the cyclist.
Please pay attention to your safety, as you are on public roads!
Professional equipment highly recommended.
A visit to the Burgstein ruins is worthwhile for nature lovers!
Plauen can be reached via the A72 or the A9 exit Schleiz, then the B282 and the B92.
Public parking spaces are available at the station in Plauen.
