Always worth a visit in good weather. Delicious iced coffee included.

To commemorate the 25th anniversary of the reign of King Wilhelm II of Württemberg (reigned 1891-1918), a bust was erected here on the Burgberg tower.

The Burgbergturm stands on the 534 meter high castle hill. It can only be reached by bike or on foot. From the observation tower you have a great view of the Odenwald, Steigerwald and the Swabian Alb. At the tower there is also a restaurant with a beer garden, a playground and a rest area.

You never know when a roof over your head will be needed. Whether you're traveling in the rain or sunshine, a shelter will help you take a short break. Anything better than standing under a tree and “balancing” in your rain gear. Helpful.

Farmed again at the weekend. A short break pays off.

A visit to the castle hill is always worthwhile, the observation tower is another challenge.

Secluded insider tip. The Burgberg tower protrudes in the middle of the forest. Unfortunately not always accessible, but there is a good opportunity for a rest here.
