The Royal facilities of Bad Elster were a meeting place for European society at the beginning of the 20th century as a summer residence. This glamorous flair of the founding era can still be felt today. The 170-year-old historic park facilities with their promenades lovingly and generously connect the cultivated architectural landscape: Guests can stroll from the historic Albert Park to the Paul Schindel Park, to the Louisa Lake, and to the culturally and historically uniquely preserved light, air, and swimming pool or feel comfortable in the refreshing forest park Bad Elster right next to the modern open-air arena of the Nature Theater.

Directions
Station forecourt approx. 200 m uphill towards Bad Elster - turn left, East Ring - Brunnenberg - cross Bad Elster/Sohl Street - Reuther Height - Bayern Beech - Forsthaus Tavern - Flora Temple - Gondola Pond - Church Street - secondary school - shopping center - Bärenloh settlement - Ring route/West Ring - forest café - Old Castle - Zeidelweide Valley - Country House - B 92 - Stop
Starting from the station or the parking lot at the Landhaus Adorf, the ring route leads us east of Brunnenberg through a beautiful forest area. Finally, the hiking trail makes a curve to discover the spa town from the south at the Oelschlägel pond: the Paul Schindel Park, rose garden, and historic park facilities introduce visitors to the natural quality of stay and the soothing recreational area that shapes Bad Elster.
At the Trinity Church, the route goes westward. Art Nouveau villas and spa architecture are a treat for the eyes.
Via Kuhbergweg and the Bärenloh settlement, we gradually leave the spa atmosphere, and the beauty of the Vogtland landscape gains influence again. On the left, we encounter a ring wall island from around the year 1100 – the so-called Old Schönfeld Castle. Finally, the circular hike around Bad Elster reaches its crowning conclusion in the Zeideweide Valley Nature Reserve, before returning to the Landhaus Adorf and the station.
