The Tannenwaldhütte was first mentioned in 1856 and destroyed by the storm "Lothar" on 26.12.1999. It was rebuilt by the nature club Michelbach, the leisure club "Ranch" and the forestry administration. Below the hut, there is a spring that does not run dry even on hot days.

Waldprechtstal from above, magnificent views as far as the Rhine and the Northern Vosges Mountains as well as the Palatinate Forest - photo hotspot below the Mahlberg - the path used to be better, today it is badly eroded and very coarse gravel!!

The present-day castle had two, possibly even three, predecessor structures. After the Baden Margrave Hermann V was granted the town of Ettlingen, founded by the Hohenstaufen dynasty, by Emperor Frederick II, his son, Margrave Rudolf I of Baden, built a castle complex in the mid-13th century – possibly on the remains of a Hohenstaufen predecessor structure. However, no previous structure has yet been identified. The lower floors of the keep in the castle courtyard, which are still preserved today, date from this period. A magnificent Renaissance castle followed in the 16th century. Two round corner towers were added to the south wing, and the keep was given a half-timbered upper floor. The three-wing Renaissance complex surrounding the old keep, completed in 1600, was destroyed along with the entire town by French troops in 1689 during the War of the Palatinate Succession (Wikipedia).

A lovely place to take a break right next to the tower. There are seating areas, as well as outside seating.
