--- title: "Lochbauer Eisenberg valley path" url: "https://web.destination.one/en/tour/lochbauer-eisenberg-valley-path" description: "The starting point is the Jocketa hiking car park. You start towards the monumental Elstertal bridge, which you cross before descending into the Elstertal. You then follow the Elster until you pass the Devil's Pulpit. There are two options for the further route: either continue along the White Elster on the direct route to the \"Lochbauer\" to reach the Schäfer bridge. You use this to cross the White Elster. Alternatively, at the Devil's Pulpit you can turn right into the Nymph Valley to reach the inn \"Pfaffenmühle\", then the Vogtland Environmental and Nature Conservation Center Pfaffengut and continue via Pfaffengutstraße to the \"Lochbauer\". After crossing the White Elster, continuing along the path, you will see the Königshügel on the left. Further north on the route, Eisenberg with the 14m-high Julius Mosen tower offers a magnificent view of the Pöhl reservoir. Then it continues over the Pyramid Meadow back to the starting point.
