It is only a few meters away from the Landshuter Haus, it is worth it.

Oberbreitenau with village ruins
More than 400 years have passed since the first eight settlers settled on the Oberbreitenau plateau after approval from the landlord of the Breitenau and Bischofsmais, Imperial Baron Johannes VIII Sigmund von Degenberg zu Schwarzach. A simple forest glassworks was also created. From 1925 onwards the desertification of the last 9 properties began after they were sold to the state. The last residents left the town in 1956. In 1991/92 the community of Bischofsmais uncovered individual farms, including the Pledl, Knogl, Saller, Wöß and Holzbauer properties. Through private initiative, the Aigner House was excavated in 1999 and the remains of the foundation wall were uncovered. The Landshuter Haus, the former Greil-Hof, which serves as a mountain house for the Bavarian Forest Association (viewpoint), is still inhabited today. The efforts to exempt this high-altitude village and its former urban area, which is rather rare for the Middle Bavarian Forest and the district, were carried out by the Bavarian State Forestry Administration, among others. supported by intensive deforestation. This meant that the raised moor there (ND) could also be made available again.
