Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author
The short detour via Falkensteiner Straße to the Sparkasse Vogtland Arena is worth it to enjoy the panoramic view from the observation capsule. Likewise, the short detour to the former spoil heap near the Topaz rock Schneckenstein should not be missed and is rewarded with a great wide view over the landscape (up to the Vogtland Arena).
