July 20, 2025,Blick auf die Elstertalbrücke – Überweg an der Teufelskanzel Runde von Jocketa

We parked in Pöhl with a 5-euro day ticket, and our hike began. There's plenty of cooling and shade in the Triebtal Valley. Unfortunately, some hiking trails are currently closed due to construction work (July 25), so we had to find alternatives. There are wonderful views along the way, and if you're looking for peace and quiet and plenty of …

A beautiful, varied route with great highlights. Some steep climbs, but overall quite manageable. It's worth it.

What a hiking highlight🤩!
When we planned this tour for today, we had no idea that such a romantic spot awaited us in the Vogtland region.

July 8, 2022,Wanderung Bhf Jocketa - Pfaffenmühle und retour

Vogtland hike was on the plan today, even if the weather could have been friendlier. We first took the train to Jocketa and from there we started the descent down into the Triebtal. The first climb up to the Friedenshöhe was tough. Unfortunately, the weather spoiled the view here as well as from the Mosen Tower. The Pöhl dam and …
