Kemmler

The Kemmler (507m high) is located about 3.5 km south of the city center of Plauen. The mountain with the nearly 19-meter-high observation tower, built in 1902 from square granite blocks, is a popular excursion destination. It offers a fantastic panoramic view over the city of Plauen and the Vogtland region.
