The path is named after the goblin Pummpälz from Thuringian legends. The goblin was said to have ambushed hikers, jumped on their necks to be carried, and slapped them in the face.

A bus stop... unfortunately, it has nothing to do with the former monastery.

The place is called Kloster Allendorf, where the monastery used to stand on the mountain, today still a monastery ruin, rebuilt as a very successful monastery ruin with a restaurant and a wonderful panoramic view of the Thuringian Forest with a view of the Inselsberg at 916 m. (fantastic)👍👏🙏
