Tips from the Community

Manfred B.
August 5, 2026, White Elster Riverside Trail

The bike path is often stony, cyclists had warned me in the train about the narrow spot. But that is an exaggeration. I got through easily with both panniers. However, you have to ride with concentration in some places. But there are also many beautiful, relaxed, romantic spots.

The imposing dam of the Pöhl dam is a real highlight and impresses both from above and below 💪. When crossing it, a wide, almost endless view opens up over the lake, while on the other side the valley drops deep down – a great contrast!

Covered rest area with a table and drinks based on what you want (trust fund). Located in the center of town, but idyllically situated by a peat pond with a miniature house.

The manor house, along with the associated estate buildings, has been vacant since 2003. The castle was almost completely built over by the palace. A remnant of a water-bearing moat still survives. The complex was protected as an archaeological monument at the end of 1059.

In 1382, a knight's seat was mentioned, owned by Ulrich von Sack zu Geilsdorf. The von Sack zu Geilsdorf family sold their property to Hans Wilhelm von Geilsdorf in 1574. Subsequent owners were Georg Peter von Reitzenstein from 1578 and Count Siegmund von Tattenbach from 1668. The castle was built around 1667/1668 on the site of a moated castle that had already existed in the 12th century. Renovations were carried out in 1719. The next owner, from 1725, was the von Nauendorff family. Geilsdorf Castle had been out of use since 1866. After it began to deteriorate, part of the former moat was filled in. The bridge was also demolished. The manor house of the manor was built around 1850. In 1910, large parts of the castle collapsed. The entire property was acquired by Walter Naumann in 1920 and taken over by the city of Plauen eight years later.
