Tips

Hiking

The castle Hoheneck was probably built around 1200 by the margraves of Baden. Shortly thereafter, the first people settled at the foot of the castle. The old town center is special because you can still see some very well preserved half-timbered houses here. From the ruins you have a great view over the loops of the Neckar, the surrounding vineyards and Ludwigsburg and its residence castle.

Cycling

The easiest way to get to the castle ruins is by bike. It then goes steeply down to Althoheneck (church) on the Neckar level.

Hiking

The castle ruins from the 13th century are idyllically nestled in the vineyards. From there you have a panoramic view of the vineyards and the Neckar.
