--- title: "Cycle path Falkenstein-Oelsnitz" url: "https://web.destination.one/en/tour/cycle-path-falkenstein-oelsnitz" description: "The route offers an optimal alternative for all cyclists who want to gently experience the hilly upland landscape of Vogtland from valley to valley on a former railway embankment without major altitude differences. The route begins at the train station in Falkenstein. The town of Falkenstein, framed by beautiful forests, shows Vogtland from one of its most beautiful sides. It is a town full of sights – with a zoo, castle rocks, and a local history museum. A detour to the Falkenstein reservoir, an idyllic recreational spot, is definitely worthwhile. On the route, Vogtland truly lives up to its name and shows colorful blooming meadows and forests. Interesting stops along the way include the Neue Scheune Bergen with a folk art exhibition. Shortly before the destination, a detour to the Pirk reservoir is recommended. At the destination in Oelsnitz, besides St. Jakobi Church and the town hall, Voigtsberg Castle is especially worth seeing. This over 760-year-old castle complex with an integrated carpet museum is located on the outskirts high above the town and is a true sight even from afar. Special tip: The start and finish of this route are directly at the train stations of the two towns for an easy return trip with the Vogtland railway." language: "en" type: "SportsActivityLocation" image: "https://dam.destination.one/2904288/9c53f4203c88c19cfbd74a3147806ea5d1999e0b1835fbadf934a1cb24f99717/radweg-falkenstein-oelsnitz.jpg" breadcrumb: "Root > Homepage > Special > Destination.Data Details > Tour" --- GPX Share Cycle path Falkenstein-Oelsnitz =============================== - 27.80 km long - Difficulty: medium - Condition: easy - Cycling - 1:55 h - 27.80 km - 93 m - 239 m - 384 m - 554 m - 170 m - - Start: Falkenstein - Destination: Oelsnitz The cycle path Falkenstein-Oelsnitz, ideal for families, connects the Göltschtal cycle path with the Elster cycle path.
