Family-friendly circular hike through the Trieb Valley, past the Loreley Rock, the dam with the plunge pool, and the impressive Elstertal Bridge
In the middle of the Vogtland Switzerland lies the Pöhl reservoir, one of Saxony's largest reservoirs. Around the so-called "Vogtland Sea" stretches a gently rolling low mountain landscape with beautiful hiking trails and interesting excursion destinations.
On the 4.3 km hike through the Trieb Valley, one discovers a picturesque floodplain landscape, the rugged Loreley Rock with a beautiful view of the Trieb Valley, and the Elstertal Bridge. For the technically easy path, hikers should allow about 1.5 hours.
Attention:
- currently, the stairs to the Loreley Rock are closed for safety reasons!
- The path over the Elstertal Bridge is closed until 2025!
Note: Impairment of hiking trails in the area of the Elstertal Bridge and Barthmühle
Please inform yourself before your hike about possible impairments or alternative routes.
