엘레펠트 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

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

It's quite a windy day coming from below. But it's worth it: the view stretches out over the trees of the valley. Up on the rock would also be a good place to rest.

The Riss-Hütt (Votgtland dialect) is located directly on the Rißweg trail and serves as a shelter. In good weather, you can rest on the sunbed by the still water – see https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/7849218.

Small forest lake with a covered rest area and a large bench for lying down.

A beautiful lake with an exciting circular trail. The short walk around the lake is well worth it. There are benches and rest areas along the way.

Hidden in the heart of the Hohofen district of Ellefeld lies a special place steeped in history – the site of the former forest pool, now a nature-inspired fire pond. Where water lovers of all ages once spent their summer days, a lovingly redesigned area now invites you to linger, explore, and stroll... (https://www.vogtland-tourismus.de/mobi)

Beautifully situated with a rest area, from here you can continue your hikes in various directions. At the double bridge, a stone bridge dating back to the time of rafting, the Gahlenbach flows into the Rote Göltzsch. An idyllic reservoir lies above the Gahlenbach. The Rote Göltzsch flows towards Hohofen and flows into the Weiße Göltzsch at the exit of Ellefeld. In the 16th century, processes for the extraction and processing of metals gradually developed below the double bridge. Ore (red iron ore) around the Röthelstein was crushed and smelted in a specially built blast furnace. It was then processed in a stamp mill (hammer). The required blower was powered by water. A wire mill, where brass blanks were formed into coarse wire, also operated with the same power.
