duration. If we go by rail, we have about half an hour’s walk from the station. The town is situated on a rocky plateau, surrounded by the Eger like an elbow (hence the name), and its principal attraction consists in a chain-bridge and Haidinger’s porcelain manufactory. We advise good pedestrians to drive to Elbogen before dinner, to dine there at the Hôtel Zum weissen Ross, and then to walk along the banks of the Eger to the Hans Heiling Fels in about two hours. The carriage may in the meantime proceed to Aich, from which place we return to Carlsbad.
5. To Schlaggenwald.— Passing Elbogen, we drive through the pleasant valley of the Flutbach, called the Zeche, and visit the porcelain manufactory, or the tin mines. This drive takes us two hours and a quarter.
6. To Falkenau.—We drive past Elbogen and the village of Altsattel, either by carriage or rail. In the neighbourhood of Falkenau hops are much cultivated. Its principal attraction is Count Nostiz’s park. This drive takes two hours and a half.
7. To Schlackenwerth we drive in an hour and a quarter, for the purpose of visiting its large and formerly celebrated garden. Returning, we may take the route past Welchau, Rodisfort, and the Giesshübler Sauerbrunn, in which case we must dine at Schlackenwerth.
