A bench like no other. It's almost always in the shade.

The well-preserved castle is an essential part of the historic old town, perched on a hill. And we felt the same way as @Scout Jens: the view from below of the castle and old town had a certain promise and was the most beautiful view.

The castle was built at the beginning of the 13th century by the Lords of Sternenfels as their ancestral seat and was first mentioned in 1232. After the castle passed to the Lords of Liebenstein, it was pledged to Württemberg in 1320. Before the castle was demolished in 1778 and dismantled by 1780, it served as the seat of a forester and as a prison for poachers in the 17th century. The castle, of which only the rampart and moat remain today, was built from white Stubensandstein. A first observation tower was built in 1866, which became dilapidated and had to be blown up in 1966. A year later, in 1967, a 14-meter-high water tower with an observation platform in the style of a keep was built on the Schlossberg. The tower houses an exhibition on the history of the Lords of Sternenfels and the geology of Stromberg and Heuchelberg. Source Wikipedia

Beautiful, quiet, relatively flat climb with little elevation gain. From Sternenfels it is steeper and shorter, but with a long descent towards Häfnerhaslach. Very good road surface.
