    Hiking

    Already a special place ... According to legend, a young girl and then the messenger who (accidentally) delivered her sentence were executed here “accidentally”. To this day, the headless messenger is said to do his laps around the Galgenberg at the witching hour. You can read the legend on a sign - stretch your legs in the pavilion. Unless it's too scary for you! 😉

    Galgenberg (637 m) near Bad Brambach / Rohrbach ...!

    On the Galgenberg above Bad Brambach, there is not only the first view of the Vogtland, here on the heights it is still haunted.

    You can find the whole mystical story in the link:
