    separating into three paths, the left of [which leads along the Alexandrinen Ruhe and the King Otto’s Hoehe, the central through a pine-nursery to the Kieselmuehle, and the last to the interesting mud- beds. DISTANT EXCURSIONS. I shall mention under this heading a few places which can be visited by driving. 1. K(enigswart and its Castle. The castle may be reached in an hour and a quarter’s drive through the Thiergarten or the Schanzthal, or by the highroad to Eger, from which it is a half-hour’s walk distant, in a northerly direc- tion, near the village of Altwasser. The trip by rail occupies ten minutes. It merits a visit from every cure-guest in Marienbad on account of its many peculiar attractions. If a party were to start after dinner, they could return in the evening; but the trip might also be made in the morning, and the dinner ordered in Koenigs wart. The carriage is pre- ferable to the train, as the route is pleasanter by road, and the railway station at some considerable distance from Spa Koenigswart. The walk leads past the Richardshoehe, straight on through Metternich’s Thier- garten, in a sinuous path up an acclivity. The walk takes about fifteen minutes. You cross the highroad and advance until you pass a stone, a few steps beyond which a footpath deviates to the left to Koenigswart, which lies in a deep valley basin embayed by surround- ing well-wooded mountains. This also encloses the castle and the new and beautiful spa establishment.
