Kneipp Pool and Exercise Park Vogtland

Highlight • Rest Area

... a Kneipp pool is beautiful - the adjoining exercise park is wonderful - there should be one in every schoolyard - then there might not be so many awkward people.

Very comfortable here, to recommend as intermediate rest. When the sun shines, you have a nice view of the dam.

March 20, 2022,Zwickauer Mulde 3️⃣ (Rund um TS Eibenstock)

Some time ago I decided to hike the Zwickauer Mulde. I had already planned all the stages completely and would have touched the TS Eibenstock only to the south from the inflow to the dam wall. Now it turned out that I circumnavigated the entire dam with an illustrious group. So I "rebuilt" and count the tour as a separate …

After doing a lot with my family over the last few weeks, today it was my friends' turn. Just a leisurely walk around the dam, chat a bit and enjoy the surroundings 😌

0930 = go
1300 = 15km with 15min break
1400 = 20min break
1515 = 30min break
1710 = done 😊
Total = 7h & 40 min
Total minus break = 6h & 35 min
Average = 4.6 km/h 😅🤭

From this we can derive the following rough calculation for the 4 x 30 km Forststeig ⚒️🌄🧗🏔️🌴🌳 😁

March 20, 2022,ERZ: Wanderung um Talsperre Eibenstock von Hundshübel

Today I started my hiking season in wonderful hiking weather and in good company.
The plan to circumnavigate the Eibenstock dam has been around for a long time. However, we were never directly on the water.
And for picture 7 there was an extra piece of cross-country 😉 If you don't like that, don't copy it.

April 23, 2022,Umrundung der Talsperre Eibenstock

A long-cherished project was realized, the circumnavigation of the largest Saxon dam. Start was a small parking lot between the tributaries of Zwickauer Mulde and Rähmerbach. Spontaneously we walked counterclockwise. Numerous nature trails (mining, soap, forest, water) line the path. A Kneipp station with a barefoot path and keep-fit path also ensure a varied break. On recommendation we stopped at …
