Very tasty food! Not a huge menu, just between 6 and 10 options, but very tasty. Typical German traditional recipes cooked very well and also affordable.

Wonderful, well preserved castle dating to 1250 overlooking the river Neckar! There are several buildings, a tower, wall and gates to see. Unfortunately, buildings and the restaurant are currently under construction but this is well worth a visit just for the fabulous views.

Very pretty and quiet little town. If you are hiking be aware that there is very little in the way of accommodation in town so you may want to book ahead.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
