Pöhl Reservoir in Saxony

Highlight • Lake

This part up to the dragon boat jetty is more of a hiking trail than normal bikes. Maybe something for mountain bikers!

Highlight • Bridge

There is a parking space within sight of the bridge (directly at the Barthmühle train station). From here you can cross-country ski under the Elstertalbrücke and continue to the Pöhl dam through the wildly romantic Trieb Valley.
