April 27, 2023,Stadtkirche Mylau – 🏛️ Göltzschtalbrücke

The Göltzschtalbrücke was again the focal point of the tour today. From the parking lot we first went to Mylau to the market with its impressive church. The path led us further up to the Hirschstein within sight of the castle. From here there is a magnificent view of the Göltzsch valley. The next stage was Mühlwand, which was the …

The route continued past the unmanned Mylau Bad stop 🏊‍♂️ (opened on May 15, 1935) to the Mylau …

While you're there, it's worth taking a detour from the A72 to Reichenbach im Vogtland for a short tour with the destination Göltzschtalbrücke. It is an impressive building from 1851. The height of 78 meters only becomes apparent up close. The fact that Mylau Castle is on the way increases the appeal of the tour. Today the castle was closed, …
