The Triebtal valley is pure natural idyll and a real highlight for everyone who likes it quiet and original 😍. The path leads along the Weiße Elster through a picturesque valley, past rocks, dense greenery and always accompanied by the sound of water. Sometimes gently gurgling, sometimes lively rushing – the river creates a special atmosphere, while birdsong and the lush green all around ensure real deceleration 🐦💚.

The imposing dam of the Pöhl dam is a real highlight and impresses both from above and below 💪. When crossing it, a wide, almost endless view opens up over the lake, while on the other side the valley drops deep down – a great contrast!
