I thoroughly enjoyed being carried around this castle on my wife's back.

Once, back in the twelfth century, during the time of noble and brave knights, a king named Conrad III captured this fortress from the VI Duke of Welf. And the king told to the wives of the defenders of the castle, that they could be free with whatever they could carry from the castle. They carried away their husbands, the defenders of the castle. It is a wonderful story. Nowadays here you can walk endlessly long through wine fields, apple orchards, and there is even a small forest at the height of a neighboring mountain, where you can also walk in the hot summer in the shade of tall trees. We really like this place.

The Weibertreu castle ruins are the ruins of a hilltop castle in the town of Weinsberg in the Heilbronn district in Baden-Württemberg, probably built in the early 11th century . The castle is known for the eponymous "Treu-Weiber-incident" on December 21, 1140, when, after the surrender of the besieged castle, the women (later called "Treue Weiber von Weinsberg") saved their men from execution by rescuing them carried down the mountain on their backs. It is a fabulous place for a walk and the slopes are populated with vines that belong to the Staatsweingut (I wrote a review on that as well, they have absolutely fantastic wines and top notch service). On a clear day you can see far into Heilbronn and also Neckarwestheim. I would come here again in a heartbeat.
