There are many reasons to visit the Vogtland, and most of them have to do with nature. Natural forests turn into a paradise for hikers and nature lovers to enjoy with every breath and step. Expansive, vibrant mountain meadows are a pleasant sight and make you want to have a family picnic on the spot – panoramic view included. And for those who want to explore the Vogtland’s culinary delights, the “Grüne Klöße” (green dumplings), no longer the poor man’s food, are a must. This is why there are around 70 towns in the former lands of the governors of Weida, Gera and Plauen that have “green” in their name. 

Whether you are young or old, a culture enthusiast, sportsman or seeking relaxation – the Vogtland has something to offer for every guest: 

1. Nature experiences
2. Panoramic views
3. Schneckenstein – the only above-ground topaz rock of the northern hemisphere
