Description

From Rottenburg, the tour leads via Weiler, Hemmendorf and Starzach to Börstingen and from there through the upper Neckar valley back again. Along the way are a total of 9 castles and palaces, including the striking Weitenburg Castle. In addition, the tour runs through the wild and romantic Rommelstal, which is perfect for an extensive snack at the edge of the stream.

Author's recommendation

After the last big climb of the tour, once you reach the top, you have the opportunity to take a short detour across the flat field to Weitenburg Castle with its excellent gastronomy, a highlight of this tour and a castle straight out of a picture book!

Equipment
