March 16, 2025,Runde um Dölau bei Greiz

A beautiful hike along the White Elster River. The trails are well-maintained, but some have short, steep climbs. Surefootedness is recommended in some places. At the top, you'll be rewarded with a magnificent view.

January 28, 2024,Rothenthaler Alpen - Runde von Greiz 🧗‍♀️

Thanks to komoot we discovered this wonderfully beautiful hiking trail in Vogtland today. With a bright blue sky and sunshine, we walked along the impressive rock formations. We had wonderful views of the valley with the White Elster below us, and of the rolling hills of the Vogtland with its pretty villages.
What a wonderful day for the first big …

December 31, 2024,Silvesterrunde Rothenthaler Alpen

At the end of 2024, another item on my to-do list: Rothenthal Alps. Start at the Alte Papiermühle hiking car park and then towards Dölau. The paths vary greatly, from wide and comfortable to narrow and bumpy, but overall they are easy to walk for a reasonably experienced hiker. The constant ups and downs are demanding. The hiking trail along …

February 24, 2025,Basteifelsen – Speichersee Greiz Dölau Runde von Greiz

Since bad weather is forecast for the next few days, I really wanted to take advantage of the nice weather again today.
You have to leave the immediate area every now and then, so I looked for a tour around Greiz from my saved tours.

My 700th tour with Komoot!

I parked near Greiz train station.

From the hiking car park at the Greiz paper factory cultural centre, we hike along the Vogtland Panorama Trail to Döhlau, then on to Kleingera and through Sachswitz. There we cross the Weiße Elster and hike around the Greiz/Döhlau reservoir. We return via Eichleite, the Rothenthalleite with the Bastei rocks to our car park at the Greiz paper factory.

October 13, 2022,Rothentaler Alpen und Stausee Dölau

For almost 15 years I drove to work through the Rothental district of Greizer, on the Plauensche Strasse. I had no idea about the paths to the left and right above the road. I knew the name, Rothental Alps, because there is also a rock massif on the right, towards Plauen. Annual fortification work also takes place there.
Well then, …

October 5, 2022,Rosenthaler Alpen bei Greiz erkunden

Go on paths that are not so well known. Anyone who has seen these rock formations is simply amazed. The Köhler Steig to Netzschkau is also nearby, with many rock formations. So I was excited 😀
