The ruin sits enthroned up there like an old lady who has seen everything and thinks to herself: "In the past, knights came, today hikers come in functional jackets... times change."

St. Afra's Church stands on a slight rise in the center of Neckargerach and is recognizable from afar by its striking, light-colored tower. The building appears simple, yet inviting.

From the Neckar footbridge, a wide, tranquil view opens up over the Neckar River, which flows here in a gentle curve through the valley. Depending on the light, the water reflects the surrounding slopes that rise to the left and right of the river.
