Take a closer look at the hand-carved decorations on the beams: they show symbols from faith, craft, and the everyday life of the builders and tell their own story if you take the time to read them.

The "Schreinerschänke" (Carpenter's Inn) is now permanently closed. The village is still worth a visit. "With fewer than one hundred inhabitants, Schreckhof is idyllically situated above the Neckar Valley, surrounded by the Geopark and former vineyards. The many hiking trails in the area offer wonderful views and breathtaking natural highlights. The historic house itself was built around 1200 and is now in its third generation of family ownership." https://schreckhof.de/
