댐 팔켄슈타인 최고의 러닝 경로

Here you can get interesting information about the construction and function of the dam; very interesting.

The rest area lies deep in the valley below, beneath the mighty trees. It's usually pleasantly shady in summer.

Surprisingly, the line was built as early as the 19th century. Railwaymen were required for the level crossings, including at this location. The foundation bears witness to this.

Open on Reformation Day - 5 stars because there are still restaurateurs with entrepreneurial spirit! Thank you

A charming town hall, very prestigious. Dating from the early 20th century, it features a park and water feature in front.

This is the first time you see the dam. You should still take the little detour to the dam. It's a beautiful view from up there.

The Maidens of Breitenstein and Röthelstein In ancient times, two nasty old maidens are said to have been banished here from Ellefeld. They still cause mischief in this area. Sometimes they ride in fiery carriages, drawn by similar horses, in a wide arc from Breitenstein over the Gahlenbach stream to Röthelstein. The Röthelstein opens its gate, through which the evil women disappear again. Often, the female figures in black clothing can be seen strolling around the rock, playing their pranks. Sometimes, the most beautiful silver and copper coins can be found there. If picked up and put in a pocket, they inexplicably disappear. It is also said that on the morning of the first Easter holiday, the Maidens of Röthelstein dance.

The Wendelstein (734 m) is part of a long chain of rocky cliffs that jut sharply out of the earth. This striking rock formation begins at the "Hoher Stein" (Czech Republic), continues via the "Alter Söll" (Schöneck), the "Rehhübel," "Rinnelstein," "Großer Affenstein," "Kleiner Affenstein," "Genesenstein," "Wendelstein," and "Schwarzer Stein" (all Grünbach) to the "Bendelstein" near Auerbach. The Wendelstein, like all the others, is composed of greywacke quartzite. This is a dark gray, mostly highly consolidated sandstone composed of feldspar, chlorite, and mica, with a high proportion of slate and quartzite. About 500 million years ago, the Vogtland region was covered by a shallow sea. Sand and mud settled on the bottom, which subsequently solidified into sandstone and slate, the sedimentary rock, due to climate change and landslide. Forced upwards under enormous heat and pressure, phyllite and quartzite were formed. (https://www.gruenbach.de/freizeit_aktiv)
