Fantastic dam for swimming, bathing, paddling, etc. Dog bathing beaches at regular intervals. There are enough waste bag dispensers and rubbish bins available.

Pöhl Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

Beautiful turning of the valley on the circular route over about 20 km is possible. Since there are only moderate gradients on well-developed trails, the claim of the track (with a few exceptions) is limited. Despite the frequent development on the banks, the Pöhl dam offers beautiful views of the landscape itself. After heavy rain, the trails can be a bit muddy. Corresponding weatherproof clothing and footwear, as with every hike, of course to take. In the summer you can at some swimming areas (some also supervised by lifeguards) also like to start a walk in the wet. The dam is a water reservoir and thus is the bathing pleasure nothing in the way (think of your own swimming skills).

Pöhl Dam

Highlight • Monument

The dam of the Pöhl dam is a curved concrete dam. The dam was built from 1958 to 1964 near Jocketa (today part of the municipality of Pöhl) in the Vogtland (commissioned in 1964). The dam takes its name from the village of Pöhl, which is now under water. In fact, the underwater location serves as a diving attraction. The dammed water, the shoot, is a tributary of the White Elster.
