    The deserted wilderness lies on the edge of a high plateau that drops steeply to the west and south into the valley of the Köstenbach stream, and to the north into the valley of a tributary of the Köstenbach. A farm track leads to Köstenhof, another to a municipal road that runs from Köstenhof to Elbersreuth. Towards the end of the 18th century, Breiteneben consisted of an estate. In 1950, five people still lived here; by 1961, the house was already empty.

      abandoned place that consisted of only one house - for over 60 years without residents

        This house apparently had hardly any infrastructure in terms of electricity, paths, etc. Maybe that's why it was abandoned.
        Caution is advised, the house has a basement and there is also a more precise hole in the garden.
