57 Map 3: The Thuringian nobleman Günther, an ancestor of the Princes of Schwarzburg, returns in 1008 from a trip to Rome and smokes in Nieder-Alteich (1) the Bavarian monastery on the Danube down Regensburg with the robe of a laity brother of the Benedictine Order. He then founds the hermit monastery of Ringnach (2), namely three cells and a little church of St. John the Baptist, penetrates deeper and deeper into the mountains – as you can see in the direction of Prague – and stumbles into some of the spiritual cells in which he retreats at times. The expansion of the "Golden Trail", the old trail from Pajau to Pradlitz, is said to be his work. He dies in his Klause in Gutweffer-Hartmanis on St. Günther-Berg (3) and is buried by Herzog Breitelsaw in the monastery of Brewnow. The line Nieder-Alteich-Prag reveals an enigmatic line network characterized by three local and mountain names "Zebrafl-Bettler" (5, 6, 7) and equal distances of 44 km to Prague, 33 km among each other. In 1032, a hermit, Prokop, moves to the wooded village of Saffau and is held in a cave that in 1039, Duke Breitelsaw, built a prachful monastery of Safau-Sazama (8). Saffeau is located on the Prague-Raigern line, 44 km from Prague's cult site. It later has a propsty in Zblisow, 33 km from Saffauer (9). The propsty of Schlan, which belongs to the island of Ostro, lies on the extension of the line Raigern-Prague beyond Prague. But the monastery of Ostro, founded in 999 by Boleslaw the Pious, appears from the beginning and quite as a subsidiary of the Bavarian monastery of Nieder-Alteich, because from there it was not only his first abbot, the German Lambert, but also all spiritual brothers. So it is probably not wrong if we relate the Thuringian nobleman Günther, the hermit of the Bohemian Forest, who takes the Kutte in Nieder-Alteich, with the enterprises of the island flotter Ostro. Not that he had created the great planning of the lines of communication across the mountains, but that he served them and extended them and was apparently responsible for the collection of the messages, should be said. For what were the cells and propstei, so these are smaller branches up to six brothers, in such 149
