Birds of Prey Show at Burg Guttenberg

Highlight • Castle

The German Bird of Prey Observatory at Guttenberg Castle
Fascinating world: Around 60 large birds of prey and owls live here. Experience huge birds with a wingspan of over two meters, such as eagles and vultures, but also eagle owls in free flight high above Guttenberg Castle - whatever the weather! The castle's Staufian kennels offer a natural insight into the fascinating world of birds of prey. Interactive touchscreen stations and two display case exhibitions show selected birds of prey in typical habitats and various medium and small-sized birds of prey in Europe. Life-size silhouettes on the castle tower impressively demonstrate the enormous wingspans of birds of prey. (Source: burg-guttenberg.de/greifenwarte)

Guttenberg Castle

Highlight • Castle

You simply must visit Guttenberg Castle and its falcons. The castle offers a fantastic view of the Neckar valley and the Odenwald forest. The food in the inn is also not to be underestimated. There is also plenty to do for children, making it a great place to linger.

Panorama Bench on Oberer Dachsbauweg

Highlight • Rest Area

The panoramic bench is located directly at a crossroads with a view of the paths and the forest. The path leads directly to Guttenberg Castle. The bench invites you to sit down for a moment. Pause, close your eyes and relax.

Neckarsteig: Gundelsheim to Bad Wimpfen

Highlight • Trail

Today I finally managed to finish the Neckarsteig trail, which I started four years ago. The last leg from Gundelsheim to Bad Wimpfen was still missing. I started in Gundelsheim, first going to Guttenberg Castle. Unfortunately, dogs aren't allowed there, so I only looked from the outside and made a detour to the castle chapel, which was unfortunately closed, so I didn't get to see anything. I continued, first on wide forest roads, then on a short path, and then again on wide meadow paths past the Jewish cemetery to Heinsheim. The Jewish cemetery was established in the 16th century and at times was used by up to 25 Jewish communities between Eppingen, Mosbach, and Bad Wimpfen. 1152 gravestones have been preserved, dating from 1598 to 1937. During the Nazi regime, the cemetery was to be leveled and the gravestones put to "useful" use. Fortunately, this did not happen, but traces of willful desecration can still be seen today.
