At first, all you see is a bench and some tables, but you also have a fantastic view down into the Jagst River gorge. It's worth seeing!

A beautiful castle, worth a visit. There's also a restaurant and a café there.

At this point, the Kocher-Jagst cycle path crosses the Jagst. The covered wooden bridge is simply magical and always a beautiful photo opportunity.

A well-developed rockfall that is easily accessible for hikers and runners. Very well signposted and easy to access thanks to the steel staircase and well-laid hiking trails. The rockfall itself is clearly visible and also accessible.
