Schiefe Ebene Railway Incline

Highlight • Monument

It is impressive to see what was done during the construction of the inclined plane railway line up to Marktschorgast at that time. This stone wall is huge when you stand in front of it

Goldbergsee Swimming Area

Highlight • Lake

A quiet small and popular bathing lake. A bit off Marktschorgast in the green is the "mountain lake". Very refreshing on hot days, approx. 17 mm cold on normal summer days and often frozen in winter.

Directly on the tower is a recommended restaurant with good service, delicious food and attractive prices. In addition, the Weißenstein spring and the Weißenstein summit can be found in the immediate vicinity.
