The castle park was acquired by the municipality and laid out in its current form between 1982 and 1988. There is a large pond with a pavilion nearby, some sculptures, and many trees that provide shade. You can feel quite comfortable there.

"In the middle of the village stands the three-story Lower Castle of Gemmingen, the manor house of the Gemmingen family. The building was probably built in 1592 on the foundations of the Lower Castle, which was built around 1274. Next to the castle there is a medieval defensive tower. The castle has a magnificent Renaissance portal, and on the castle wall there are numerous historical gravestones of the Lords of Gemmingen, which were moved from the old church when the new church was built in the 19th century. The adjacent large castle park was purchased by the municipality and laid out in its current form between 1982 and 1988." https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemmingen To the left in front of the main building of the castle, on the way to the castle park, there is a historical three-marker that was found in the forest, restored and placed here.

On a hill near Fürfeld there is an atonement cross from the year 1566. The cross once stood south on the way from Fürfeld to Berwangen. The front shows the number 1566 and a pair of scissors pointing downwards. The left arm bears the year in Roman numerals. On the back you can read "Anno Domini". There are three possible origins for the erection of the atonement cross. A tailor is said to have been murdered. A second legend says that two tailors killed each other while burning charcoal because of a girl. In the third legend, the scissors are interpreted as crossed sabers. A gentleman from Zavelstein is said to have been killed in a duel. As the cross has a groove on the head, it was probably also used as a boundary or whetstone. There is also a bench next to the atonement cross.
