Triebtal Valley

Highlight • Gorge

The Triebtal nature reserve extends from the dam wall of the Pöhl dam to the mouth of the Elster. An approximately three kilometer long path leads along the babbling shoots, past mossy rocks and trees. If you are out and about here in the morning hours, the whole thing becomes mystical as the clouds of fog dissipate. From here it is not far to the Elstertal Bridge, the Julius Mosen Tower and the Pöhl Dam.

Elster Valley Bridge (Elstertalbrücke)

Highlight • Bridge

The Elstertal Bridge is the second largest brick bridge in the world, the height is 68 meters and the width is 279 meters. It was built from 1846 to 1851. Unfortunately, it was destroyed shortly before the end of the war in 1945, but was quickly rebuilt as it is an important railway connection.

A tour through beautiful countryside and with magnificent views. Start at Jocketa train station, where there is currently a free car park. If the direct descent is too challenging for you, you can also switch to alternative variants more in the direction of Alt-Jocketa. The Lochbauernmühle is ideal for en route meals, but there are also plenty of free picnic …

What a hiking highlight🤩!
When we planned this tour for today, we had no idea that such a romantic spot awaited us in the Vogtland region.
The hike begins at a small parking lot by the Elster Bridge. Here, you can catch your first glimpse of the Elstertal Viaduct, which stretches majestically over the White Elster River. Even though it's …

November 14, 2021,Elstertal, Triebtal, Talsperre Pöhl, Elstertalbrücke

We started at the Pfaffenmühle and took this beautiful hiking trail. There are many highlights along the way. We especially liked the valleys and the viewpoints. Numerous benches invite you to linger. In summary, this hike is also recommended in late autumn. The path is easy to walk and the hike offers relaxation for the whole family.
