Discover Tirpersdorf: Local History, Circular Trails and Outdoor Pool

Tirpersdorf brings together several themes for a stay: the local history museum offers insights into regional history, circular trails vary in length and route, and information boards highlight specific topics outdoors. There is also a seasonal outdoor pool. When planning your trip, you can consider culture, a walk or a possible day at the pool as different interests.

The Local History Museum and Regional History

The permanent exhibition at the Tirpersdorf local history museum covers the textile industry, wolframite mining, and the region’s agriculture and forestry. These themes are intended to be permanent, although individual exhibition content may evolve. In addition, a historically furnished parlour shows the working and living conditions of Vogtland lace-makers around the turn of the century. The museum thus combines a broad overview of regional economic topics with a depiction of the lace-makers’ everyday working and living conditions.

Circular Trails by Length and Route

Two circular trails start at the Tirpersdorf local history museum. The 12.7-kilometre loop passes through Brotenfeld, Korna, Werda and Kottengrün. A second circular hike is 10.6 kilometres long: it follows the cycle path from Lottengrün towards Bergen and returns via Kottengrün. At 10.6 rather than 12.7 kilometres, this loop is 2.1 kilometres shorter. Both trails share a starting point but differ in the route sections and places described. Length and route give you two concrete criteria for choosing between them.

The Tirpersdorf circular hiking trails have been extended to cover all the districts and equipped with boards on village history and an overview of the hiking trails. Hiking leaflets are available to take away at all information boards. Since trail details and leaflet availability may change, it is advisable to check the latest information before setting out.

Places with Outdoor Information

Kirche and Park Tirpersdorf have information boards about Tirpersdorf and its church, as well as a covered seating shelter. At the viewpoint on Feldrain, a board provides information about the habitat of native birds; there is also a covered shelter there. The two locations focus on different subjects: one on Tirpersdorf and its church, the other on birdlife. Details of the facilities may change.

The Seasonal Outdoor Pool

The Tirpersdorf outdoor pool combines swimming with relaxation in sunny and shaded areas. Large parasols and a playground for young children are also available. The pool is seasonal; visitor arrangements may change, so check the latest information before planning a visit. Its seasonal operation is an important factor if you want to combine your stay with a day at the pool.

In the Wider Vogtland Destination

The Sparkasse Vogtland Arena Klingenthal is one of Europe’s most modern large ski jumps. An experience railway takes visitors to the 32-metre-high inrun tower, from where spectacular views over Klingenthal open up. The Musical Instrument Museum Markneukirchen displays the world’s largest playable violin. Musical instruments have been made in the Upper Vogtland for more than 350 years. These regional attractions offer another perspective on the wider Vogtland destination.
