Goldbachtal Valley

Highlight (Segment) • River

Continuously gentle slope towards Plauen. Nice winding route, but drivers do not show any consideration on the narrow road 😬

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 Syra River gives its name to the beautiful Syra Valley. It's a lovely place for running and walking. The Syra Valley Bridge is a wonderful highlight and always worth a photo.

This section of the Elster cycle path is not suitable for cyclists. You have to get off at this point and lift your bike up. It is better to head straight for the Pöhl dam and then return to the cycle path via Pöhl.

Easily doable with a mountain bike, but not so much with a bike trailer ;) Had to get off at one point because it was too narrow and steep.
