We first walked into the area along the Arbach, finding the alley, which leads up to St. Anna in der Wüste, previously a monestary. After some good time there, we continued (again along the Arbach) to a point, from which we then ascended to Schlossberg with its impressive Ruine Scharfeneck on top. After exploring these ruins, we continued along the height in southern direction, before we turned right (back towards St. Anna). On the way back, we also came by the Joachim Eremitage. Eventually, we returned to the car, passing by St. Anna in der Wüste once again. This place, Die Wüste Mannersdorf , really is recommended >>>
