Descent to Altenhau Through the Vineyards

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A beautiful road with little traffic leads steeply from Eichelberg to Altenhau and back down through vineyards. Easily combined with the next ascent on Försterstrasse or Klosterstrasse

Försterstraße Ascent

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

With constant slope, it goes over 2018 renewed and shady roads high in the direction of Wüstenrot. The traffic is limited, but one is not very lonely here. There are few views, but you get enough around Wüstenrot. The ascent over Weiler, Reisach, Lichtenstern, the Försterstraße and further along the B39 (on the bike path) to the "summit" is the only ascent in the region with over 320 meters, which is on Strava with the classification "Category 2" adorn may.

Playground at Lake Finsterrot

Highlight • Rest Area

The small playground is located directly on the lake next to the lake terrace and offers climbing opportunities and a small slide for children up to 12 years old. A big highlight for the little ones.

Pfedelbach Castle

Highlight • Castle

In 1553, Pfedelbach fell to Count Eberhard, founder of the main Hohenlohe-Waldenburg line. Due to Pfedelbach's mild climate, he planned to build a second residence here as a winter residence in addition to his Waldenburg main residence. Between 1568 and 1572, he commissioned the Heilbronn master builder Sebastian Mayer to build a square moated castle with a square courtyard in the Renaissance style in place of the old moated castle. When Eberhard died in 1570 from the injuries he sustained during the "Waldenburg Carnival," his widow, Agathe, Countess of Tübingen, devoted herself to completing the castle and designated it as her widow's residence.

With Ludwig Gottfried, the Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Pfedelbach line became extinct in 1728, and the property passed to the Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Bartenstein line. The planned extensive Baroque renovation of the building was only partially realized with the new construction of Bartenstein Castle.

The magnificent court chapel was built between 1731 and 1732 under Count Ferdinand of Hohenlohe-Bartenstein.

After the mediatization, the Württemberg district court was located in Pfedelbach Castle from 1806 to 1840.

After the Second World War, the castle served as a poorhouse and fell into rapid disrepair until the municipality acquired the dilapidated building from Princess Clara of Hohenlohe-Bartenstein in 1962 and undertook a comprehensive renovation.

Quiet side road between Windischenbach and Adolzfurt in the middle of the vineyards. Very good alternative to the busy country road.
