Forest Pool on the Kemnitzbach

Highlight • Structure

The small bath was built by the Plauen lace manufacturer Richard Ketzel after a flood in 1910 washed a rock out of the meadow and left behind a large water hole. Today the complex is maintained by his heirs.

October 12, 2024,🇩🇪 Vogtland > Burgstein-Lehrpfad

Since the actual Burgstein educational trail is only about 10 kilometers long, we extended the circuit by taking a detour via Gutenfürst.
For those interested in culture, the Hermann Vogel House in Krebes is worth a visit. Hermann Vogel was a well-known painter and illustrator from Vogtland.
The Kienmühle on the Kemnitzbach is well worth seeing and a nice place …

October 3, 2025,Es herbstelt schon... im ehemaligen Grenzgebiet um Gutenfürst und Burgstein

Hiking is also nice, especially on such a beautiful day as today... Unification Day, so the former border region was a natural fit. Stunning nature. Small villages, narrow roads, beautiful paths. Many highlights along the way. 😊 We'll definitely be drawn there again... maybe even on our mountain bikes.

April 18, 2022,Zu 🥾und mit ☀️durch das Burgsteingebiet

Used the great ☀️ day today to run off the Easter calories.
Great paths, beautiful forest, great valleys along a romantic stream.
There are also decent rest stops for good food and culture is also provided with old ruins.
Great round!!!

January 20, 2024,Burgsteinlehrpfad – Grüntöne-Routen Vogtland

Today I hiked another tour from the Green Tones - Vogtland Routes series.
Only today it has become a white route. Beautiful blue sky and sun 🌞 pure and lots and lots of snow.

Now it doesn't matter whether you've been in the area before, everything looks completely different with all the snow.

October 21, 2024,Sachsen (Vogtland): Vogtländische Grüntöne (3) - Burgstein-Lehrpfad. 211024

The Burgstein area near Weischlitz in the Saxon Vogtland is indeed a beautiful place, and a hike there is almost always worthwhile. The area is dominated by the two church ruins that gave the region its name. It is still hard to believe that the region could not be entered for forty years due to the division of Germany, so …
