October 2, 2021, Burgen & Schlösser - Rundtour am Neckartal

From Rottenburg the tour leads via Weiler, Hemmendorf and Starzach to Börstingen and from there back through the upper Neckar valley. There are a total of 9 castles and palaces along the way, including the striking Weitenburg Castle. In addition, the tour runs through the wild and romantic Rommel Valley, which is ideal for a long snack on the edge of the stream. A tour with plenty of vertical meters, mainly off the beaten track. The open observation tower of the hamlet of Burg was the highlight for me today
