The fortified church of St. Nicholas in Pöllwitz was probably built in the early 13th century. It is mentioned in an indulgence letter from 1340. https://www.bachstadt-arnstadt.de/w/opendata/poi/wehrkirche-poellwitz

The Pöllwitzer Wald – one of the largest contiguous forest areas in the region – extends in the surroundings of the municipality of Pöllwitz, which is today a district of the town of Zeulenroda-Triebes. The forest area is of great importance for nature-based tourism and local recreation in the Vogtland. Parts of the area are designated as an FFH protected area and are therefore subject to usage restrictions. The FFH area was reported to the EU in 2000 and has an area of 962 ha. https://www.zeulenroda-triebes.de/seite/566312/moorlehrpfad-p%C3%B6llwitzer-wald.html

The path is completely overgrown in late summer, with roots everywhere. It's no fun, even on an e-MTB. It's the first time I've ever caught a tick on my bike... Plus, you can barely make any progress. In an hour, I didn't even manage a quarter of the way around without dawdling.
