The fenced area cannot be bitten by wild animals, nearby there is the star-of-Bethlehem and the elecampane.

The oak and linden trees are already quite large, but a distance of 3 to 5 m is far too narrow for such majestic trees. While 3/4 of the area is not planted. Is it just about profit? Is expertise lacking? How do you feel as a couple when the tree dies because it has no space? In any case, the 2 benches are nice.

The current Tauberbrücke was built in 1813 with originally four arches. Several construction phases are assumed, as the bridge has uneven crown heights and arch curvatures.

I don't know if Distelhausen is supposed to be the highlight, or the bridge? In any case, the bridge is worth seeing and the brewery in Distelhausen has a nice and good beer garden.

The Türmersturm (Turm Tower) is the city's most famous landmark and part of the former Electorate of Mainz Palace. It was built as a defensive tower in the 13th century and later expanded in the 15th century. With a height of approximately 35 meters and 119 steps up to the tower chamber, it once served the city guard to monitor the Tauber Valley and the surrounding area.
