Today I was out and about in Saxony, in the beautiful Vogtland region 🤩 I set off from the Altensatz car park. The paths are well maintained. There were some trails but also asphalt. About halfway through the route, a thunderstorm approached 🫣⛈️. From a distance, I could see that it was getting heavy and that a lot of water …

March 21, 2025,Iron Lake Challenge Sachsen - Tour 17: Talsperre Pöhl

Iron Lake Challenge Saxony. Another excursion took us to the Pöhl Dam in the Vogtland region. We opted for the designated dam circular route for the lake circuit. In some places, the Komoot circular route deviates from the on-site signposts. The dam is nestled in beautiful natural surroundings—forests, meadows, campsites, and numerous bungalow developments. Swimming in the dam is permitted. …

Dam hikes always have a certain appeal, offering views from the surrounding heights of more or less large bodies of water, with more or less tourist activity (there are also dams purely for drinking water...). What they are usually NOT: Easy to walk!

Since we like dams very much, today it should be the Pöhl dam in the beautiful Vogtland. A highly recommended circular route. We were rewarded with magnificent views and lots of history.
