The loop through the Erzgebirge-Vogtland Nature Park is one of the most scenic road bike loops through Upper Vogtland. On one side you are so close to the water, and on the other side you experience expansive views - such as at the Muldenberg reservoir. Also found on this route is the Sparkassen Vogtland Arena. Here you experience "heights" - because the view from the Vogtland ski jump is breathtaking!
