General presentation
Vogtland
Region of hills, monumental bridges, spas, lutherie, lakes and forests between Saxony and Bavaria.
Vogtland's discovery revolves around Göltzschtalbrücke, Plauen and Bad Elster. The stay thus alternates between the countryside, forests, heritage and natural areas, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: regional destination and variable weather. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Remarkable location
Bad Steben
Bad Steben is a spa located on the Franconian heights, known for its mineral waters, baths and casino set in a park setting. Between curing architecture, wooded paths and fresher air of Frankenwald, the place is suitable for quiet stays rather than quick tours.
Place
Göltzschtalbrücke
Göltzschtalbrücke reads like a large structure at a distance and then at a height of man: iron curves, valley perspective and lively passages. The place is more impressive if you take the time to walk around, rather than crossing it as a simple step.
Town or village
Plauen
Plauen sets the tone of Vogtland by its living streets, its alignments of buildings and a cross-city atmosphere on foot. The best thing is to follow the city on a sequence of one to two hours, without skipping the secondary passages.
Place
Bad Elster
Bad Elster keeps the quiet elegance of a spa town, with parks, colonnades, cure buildings and walks designed to walk slowly. The place speaks especially to those who love discreet health resorts, where architecture accompanies the gardens rather than dominate the visit.
