Directions

The route starts at the parking lot of the **** Gunzenberg Campsite. First, you walk approximately 500 m across the campsite, pass the two playgrounds of the campsite, the inn "zur Auszeit," and finally reach a parking lot. You cross this to stay on the reservoir circular path. You follow the hiking trail for about 800 m until you walk a short distance along Gansgrüner Street. Then turn left again onto the hiking trail that leads to the shore of the Pöhl Reservoir. Along the shore, you now walk about 1.5 km towards the Voigtsgrün permanent campsite. Here you will find a small bakery, a public toilet, the dragon boat dock, and another of the newly designed recreational areas at the Pöhl Reservoir - the playground in Voigtsgrün with many new play equipment. After that, you walk about 600 m further along the shore of the Pöhl Reservoir to finally reach Altensalz.
