The lake was artificially created in 1934/35 for flood protection purposes and serves to store the water of the Roter Fluss spring system. It is a very scenic lake. Commonly also called “Großer Moorteich,” various types of peat bogs here visibly point to the peat forest. The boggy catchment area is the reason for the very acidic water of the lake, which ultimately causes the absence of any fish population." language: "en" type: "SportsActivityLocation" image: "https://dam.destination.one/565600/d9ad2f535e4546a023ef92f50899dca0e8863a75ca8a81245774d612b81d3c46/.jpg" breadcrumb: "Root > Home > Special > Destination.Data Details > Tour" --- GPX Share Accessible hiking trail at Vogtland Lake ======================================== - 1.05 km long - Difficulty: easy - Condition: very easy - Great panorama - Hiking People relax on a bench by the tranquil Vogtlandsee lake, surrounded by dense coniferous forests. - 0:16 h - 1.05 km - 32 m - 671 m - 703 m - 32 m - - Destination: Vogtland Lake The scenically attractive hike can be finished after a short drive at the Grünheide Forest Park with its accessible facilities.
