The Vogtland
Forested mountainous region in the four-country corner, known for its musical instrument making and the Göltzschtalbrücke.
The Vogtland is located in the border region of Saxony, Thuringia, Bavaria and the Czech Republic, where foothills of the Erzgebirge and Fichtelgebirge mountains meet. The WeiĂźe Elster river flows through hilly upland landscape with forests, meadows and reservoirs. Around Markneukirchen, the manufacture of musical instruments has been at home for centuries. Hiking and cycling trails lead through quiet forests, and in winter skiing is enjoyed on the higher elevations.
