These cozy benches are great for lingering! Unfortunately, in July, we had no view because the cornfields were too high.

A very beautiful fountain with figures. A man is pouring water into a cup, a woman is standing next to him, and a goose can be seen in the background.

On Bergstrasse, opposite the Krone Inn, stands a historic draw well. The mechanical "pull" force of a draw well is exerted by pulleys. The amount of water drawn depends on the accumulation of water in the well and is therefore limited in quantity by the strength and speed of the overflow. Due to the topographical location of the old Grafenberg, there were no springs; only groundwater, which had to be fetched up in buckets.

This bike path is truly exemplary. It's good that the bike path to Grafenberg has now been built.

This station has always been a model railway for me. A truly beautiful station that hasn't been left to decay. And... Bempflingen still has a train station, although it's no longer used as a station.
