      An old road from Adorf to Eger ran through Landwüst past the Wirtsberg to Rohrbach, today part of Bad Brambach. South of Landwüst you can find on this road the "Schwedenschanze", a defensive fortification that probably dates back to the Schmalkaldic War and was strengthened in 1632 during the Thirty Years' War.

        An information board provides information about the Schwedenschanze. However, there isn't much to see, just a few hills that indicate the former fortification.
