<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSch\u00f6neck\/Vogtland has been a state-recognised resort since 1962. In 1967, the first ski lift was built and in 1985, the most striking building in the village to this day, the “Ferien- und Erholungsheim Karl Marx” (Karl Marx Holiday and Recreation Home), which is now used as an IFA hotel, was built. The skiing area “Skiwelt Sch\u00f6neck” and the “Bikewelt Sch\u00f6neck” have been created around the hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the region around Sch\u00f6neck, hiking enthusiasts will find numerous signposted hiking trails that lead through the beautiful nature of the Vogtland. A visit to the lace town of Plauen can also be easily undertaken from Sch\u00f6neck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Those looking for very special accommodation can stay in a sea container directly below the large IFA hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alter S\u00f6ll – free viewpoint<\/h2>\n\n\n\n The rock Alter S\u00f6ll or Friedrichstein rises 734 metres high. Sch\u00f6neck Castle once stood here, but was demolished in 1765. Unfortunately, no remains have been preserved; one can only prove this location on the basis of archaeological finds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nA metal staircase leads up to a viewing platform. From there you can see the Vogtland with the Elster Mountains and the Elster Valley. On a clear day, you can even see the Franconian Forest and the Fichtel Mountains. I find it very nice that information boards help with orientation in the terrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure><\/li> <\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\nA piece of the triangulation column Station 146 Friedrichstein is located on the rock. From 1862 to 1890, land surveys were carried out on the territory of the Kingdom of Saxony and at the same time a trigonometric network was established. This was done in order to create maps and precisely define the state territory. In this way, a total of 158 stations were created for surveying, which were located at fixed distances from each other. This made it possible to create a survey network of 16,000 km\u00b2. Since the sites had to be freely visible, they were often located on elevations that were hardly forested. Today, these sites are often completely overgrown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n

Town Hall<\/h2>\n\n\n\n The town hall of Sch\u00f6neck\/Vogtland was built in neo-Gothic style in 1923 and stands below the Alte S\u00f6ll. It somewhat resembles a castle complex and is intended to be reminiscent of the castle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

St.George’s Town Church<\/h2>\n\n\n\n The town church of St. George is located below the Old Soell. This was rebuilt within four years after the last town fire in 1856.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The massive-looking church has a beautiful entrance portal and a rather high steeple. The high windows in the side walls are also impressive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately, it was closed during our visit and so we could not visit the nave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nellie\u2019s KaffeeStube<\/h2>\n\n\n\n After a tour of the town, it is worth taking a detour to the Hauptstrasse. We discovered a sweet coffee shop there where you can get delicious homemade cakes and good coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nAbout 20 people can sit in the cosy coffee room, where a fireplace pleasantly heats the room in winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nAddress:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Hauptstr. 69, 08261 Sch\u00f6neck\/Vogtland<\/p>\n\n\n\n
