Historic Railway Depot and Roundhouse Vogtland

Highlight • Historical Site

Scenic Forest Road in Vogtland

Highlight • Trail

For Elsterradwegler: Here you can avoid the main road, but at the cost of a few meters of elevation. You will be rewarded with a well-paved side road, a green valley and then a fast descent :)

We started at the König Albert parking garage, made a short detour to the outdoor stage, and then headed for the Elster Cycle Path, which runs partly alongside the railway line and partly on side roads or farm tracks through the hilly landscape of the Vogtland region.

June 11, 2022,🚴🚴 Mit Amaleq zum Bismarkturm Markneukirchen 🚵😈

As the title suggests, we went to the Bismarkturm in Markneukirchen with a colleague today 🗼.

B was right..but I still got there on time 😛.
