View of the Autobahn Bridge Pirk

Highlight • Bridge

The route, also known as the Vogtland Autobahn, was started in the 1930s as a corner connection of the north-south route Berlin-Munich and the east-west route Dresden-Bad Hersfeld, in order to connect Silesia and East Saxony with Bavaria. Due to the high level of industrialisation in South Saxony and the scenic beauty, the route from Chemnitz to Hof was considered important by the Inspector General for German Road Construction, Fritz Todt. The first section between the Pirk and Treuen junctions was opened for construction in the summer of 1934, the section from Zwickau-West to the Chemnitz motorway triangle in March 1935, the section from Treuen to Zwickau-West in the autumn and finally the last section from the Bavarian Vogtland motorway triangle to the Pirk junction in March 1936.

Landgasthof Altenalz

Highlight • Restaurant

The name of Altensalz and Neuensalz derives from the salt springs on the right bank of the Trieb. The Saline Altensalz was located on the former Kirchsteig to Gansgrün. Today it is ten meters below the water level of the Pöhl dam.

View of the Pöhl dam

Highlight • Viewpoint

Not far from the motorway bridge you can find this meadow, and sit down and enjoy a view of the dam.
Over the bridge one has also, as with the Vorsperre, the possibility to change the banks.
