Möschwitz between the White Elster and Pöhl Reservoir

Möschwitz lies between the White Elster to the west and Pöhl Reservoir to the east. Different attractions come together here for holiday planning: at the reservoir, there is a golf course, a high ropes course and the Möschwitz sunbathing lawn with a dog bathing area. A cycling route leads from the Gunzenberg campsite to Möschwitz and from there into the Elster Valley, where it reaches the Lochbauernhof. This brings together waterside outings, cycling and a historic building.

Activities at Pöhl Reservoir

The golf course of the Golfclub Talsperre Pöhl is located right by Pöhl Reservoir, between the Vogtland villages of Voigtsgrün and Möschwitz. The high ropes course at Pöhl Reservoir includes the oak, larch, birch and maple courses, with a total of 80 elements; the course layout may change over time. Golf and climbing offer different ideas for activities. The reservoir also has the Möschwitz sunbathing lawn with a dog bathing area—a practical point to consider for guests travelling with a dog.

Cycling route and architectural heritage in the Elster Valley

A cycle path running alongside the road leads from the Gunzenberg campsite to Möschwitz. There, the route turns into the Elster Valley and shortly afterwards reaches the Lochbauernhof and the Elster Cycle Route. For your trip planning, this route combines cycling with a destination in the Elster Valley: the Lochbauernhof is not far from Möschwitz. The three-sided farmstead was built in 1648 in the Franconian style and has been a listed monument since 1937. Its construction date, architectural style and protected status give the destination a cultural and historical dimension and set this outing apart from the activities at the reservoir. The two years have different meanings: 1648 is the year it was built, while 1937 marks the start of its protected status. Route conditions may change; check the current route before setting out. A three-sided farmstead is a farm complex whose buildings enclose three sides of a courtyard; the fourth side remains open.

Visitor information and directions

There are two places to go for visitor information in Möschwitz: the reception at the Gunzenberg campsite, which includes a tourist information office at Hauptstraße 38, and another tourist information office at the landing stage at Hauptstraße 48. Möschwitz car park is the closest car park to the Pöhl high ropes course. As parking conditions may change, check the current situation before your visit.

Choose accommodation based on your interests

The golf course and high ropes course are at Pöhl Reservoir; the cycling route passes through Möschwitz into the Elster Valley to the Lochbauernhof. The Möschwitz sunbathing lawn with its dog bathing area may be a separate planning consideration if you are travelling with a dog. If your group has varied interests, consider whether reservoir activities, cycling and architectural heritage, or an outing with a dog should be the deciding factor.
