Worth seeing around Christmas time is a model railway and old toys exhibited by the owners of the inn. The playground and animal enclosure are an experience for children in the summer months. The path passes the Pfaffengut down to the Lochbauer, an old Vogtland-style three-sided farm with a half-timbered house from the 17th century. Along the Weiße Elster, nature is still almost untouched. Past the Teufelskanzel, the path goes uphill after a short time, up to Röttis. In the center of Röttis there is a small playground and a tiny half-timbered house. The village community's association barn is also located here. In summer, the barn festival takes place on the first weekend of July. At the end of the tour, the path can be used from Röttis across the open landscape, with an excellent view of Upper Vogtland.
