Neustadt, Municipality in Vogtlandkreis, Saxony, Germany
Neustadt is a municipality in the Vogtlandkreis district of Saxony, Germany. It consists of several small villages and stretches across rolling hills, with the prominent Bezelberg mountain rising nearby.
Neustadt was first mentioned in 1421 as Nuwenstad. Over the centuries, it grew by incorporating nearby villages such as Neudorf and Poppengrün in 1950.
The local dialect is still spoken in everyday life, and you might hear the rhyming saying about the Bezelberg mountain. Traditional events like the Ascension Day service on the mountain bring people together.
The area is best explored on foot or by bike, with many marked trails leading through fields and forests. A good starting point is the village center, where you can find information boards and begin your walk.
The Bezelberg offers a panoramic view of the northern and western Vogtland, and a newly designed viewing platform hosts an open-air church service every Ascension Day. The mountain is also home to the Siegerlinde, a notable lime tree.
