Yburg Castle can be seen from afar. The landmark of the Stetten district is idyllically situated among the vineyards and was built between 1300 and 1310 by the Truchsessen (stewards) of Stetten and their cousins from Y-Berg. However, the builders did not complete the project. In 1760, the castle complex was demolished, except for the outer walls that are still visible today. Yburg Castle has been inhabited again since April 2011. The 15 bronze sculptures, which create a unique art experience at this prominent location, attract art lovers from all over Germany to the hillside setting.

A very nice hiking trail in beautiful nature. Due to its proximity to the stream and the forest, it's also recommended in midsummer.

In this glorious spring weather, the Strümpfelbach Nature Friends House is an ideal starting point for a short circular hike along the nut figures with a magical view of the Remstal valley. Afterwards, we recommend stopping off at the Nature Friends House with its excellent cuisine.
