After an exciting boat trip across the Talsperre Pöhl from the dock near the dam wall, the boat stops at the request stop Altensalz. In the picturesque village, with a former salt spring and a 700-year-old church with a gothic wooden ceiling featuring baroque ornamental painting, begins the actual six-kilometer hike along the reservoir shore back to the starting point.
The route is a section of the marked reservoir circular trail, which invites you with its great views of the Talsperre Pöhl. Along the route, there are several opportunities to stop and many places that invite you to pause in nature.

Directions
You park at the parking lot at the watersports center of the Talsperre Pöhl and walk past the climbing forest to the mooring. Here you start with one of our passenger ships for a trip across the Talsperre Pöhl with a beautiful view of the shoreline landscapes. The trip to the dock in the idyllic village of Altensalz takes about 20 minutes. From there, you reach the village center via a short connecting path directly onto the reservoir circular trail. Passing the approx. 700-year-old church with a gothic wooden ceiling decorated with baroque ornamental painting, you walk directly on the shore of the reservoir towards the Voigtsgrün campsite. Here, you can take a break with children at a versatile playground and watch every Friday how the so-called dragon boat is launched for weekly training. The route continues along the shore via an idyllic forest path towards Möschwitz, one of the oldest villages in the Vogtland district. Directly on the edge of the village begins the ****Gunzenberg campsite. This invites you for a short break and offers plenty of play options for children. From the campsite, the route continues along the reservoir circular trail back to the start and finish: the watersports center with its large playground, beach volleyball courts, the Panorama restaurant, and a large parking lot.
