About Vogtland Wanderer

I’m literally a Wanderer as I have moved between several countries over the course of 20 years. I’ve started off in The Netherlands and from there I moved to Germany. Then to Scotland for 6 years and now I’m finally settled in Vogtland, an administrative area or “Kreis” in German. Vogtland is a beautiful part of south-east Saxony bordering the Czech Republic and Bavaria. .

Vogtland and Plauen

Vogtland is known for its picturesque landscapes, charming towns, and a rich cultural heritage. There are several Spa’s such as Bad Elster and Bad Brambach. Also in Vogtland is Markneukirchen, which played an important role in the manufacturing of Musical Instruments. There are opportunities for winter sports such as Langlauf and Downhill skiing, mostly in Klingenthal and Schöneck, but also in other places.

Plauen is the largest town in Vogtland. Plauen is known for its historic architecture, particularly the Old Town Hall and the Church of St. John. The Plauen lace industry has a significant historical presence. While Zwickau is not entirely within Vogtland, it is a nearby city with historical significance. It’s home to museums, including the August Horch Museum, dedicated to the history of the automobile.
