We therefore felt ourselves under the necessity of confining our day's operations to the inspection of a hermitage, or einsiedlerstein, near Burgstein, with what was described to us as a short and pleasant walk afterwards, as far as Gabel.
It will scarcely be expected that I am to conduct my reader through all the crannies and recesses of the Einsiedlerstein.
There stands what is now described as the Einsiedlerstein, that is, the stony dwelling of the hermit; a grievous misnomer surely, for though the last occupant of that dwelling was doubtless a recluse, its original purpose, which for many ages it served, was that of a strong-hold, or castle.
The Einsiedlerstein, or Hermit's Rock, is a bold and isolated crag, which rises sheer and abrupt out of the plain to the height of, perhaps, one hundred and fifty feet.
