Vogtland Holiday Route means discovering many sights!

From the legendary Pöllwitzer Wald with the moor experience trail, which impressively shows beautiful nature, to the incredibly interesting Drachenhöhle Syrau not only adults find recreation, but children also an adventure at the cave entrance. You will cross Thuringian-Saxon mountain and hill country with forests, meadows and valleys as you will hardly find them anymore.
