The route combines an eventful boat trip over the Talsperre Pöhl with a hike through the charming low mountain landscape of the Vogtland.

After an eventful boat trip over the Talsperre Pöhl from the landing stage near the dam, the ship docks after about 45 minutes at the lawn Schloßhalbinsel. There the actual six-kilometer hike begins along the idyllic reservoir shore back to the starting point.

The route is a section of the yellow-marked reservoir circular trail, which impresses with its great views of the Talsperre Pöhl. During the route, there are dining options and some highlights of Talsperre Pöhl to discover, such as the leisure and adventure garden and the impressive dam.

Directions

Starting from the Wassersportzentrum car park, the route passes the climbing forest to the passenger ship landing stage. From here, you will take one of the passenger ships on a roughly 45-minute trip over the Talsperre Pöhl to the on-demand landing stage Schloßhalbinsel. After leaving the ship, the hike back to the starting point begins. From the on-demand landing stage Schloßhalbinsel, you walk along a small path towards the restaurant "Strandhaus Schloßhalbinsel" with an adjacent playground. Then you continue over the permanent campsite Schloßhalbinsel to the northwestern part of the reservoir circular trail. The route can also be shortened by walking directly over the lawn Schloßhalbinsel about 500m to the reservoir circular trail. From here, idyllic paths lead along the reservoir shore, past the bungalow settlement Rodlera. After about 500m, you reach the bungalow settlement Neudörfel. From here, you hike about 800m further to the promenade and lawn Jocketa. Here, you will find various dining options and a leisure and adventure garden with playground, water play and mini-golf facilities. The highlight at the end of the route is the walk over the impressive dam of the Talsperre Pöhl to the landing stage at the anchorage. Now it goes back to the start: to the Wassersportzentrum with its newly designed playground with a large play ship, its beach volleyball courts, and the restaurant "Panorama".
