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.de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wirtsbergadorf-vogtland.de/inhalte/adorf/_inhalt/unsere_stadt/geschichte/hist_pers/_holk/holk/index.html

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