Tips from the Community
Lautereck Castle consists of a stone ground floor and two timber-framed floors above. Two corner towers give it a castle-like character. After renovations in 2008, a beautiful wedding room was created in the castle's bay window room. Weddings can also be held there on weekends and holidays.

The idyllic beer garden with holiday apartments is located in the heart of the Swabian-Franconian Forest Nature Park in the garden of the forester's house in Mönchsberg near Mainhardt.

Beautiful, well-maintained cycle path through the Rottal valley towards Oberrot and Fichtenberg

Since you drive through the valley almost exclusively through trees, you should turn around and look back at the end of the mountain route when you leave the narrow valley. The view is worth it.
