Well, before the "monastic interventions around 1150", the Roßweiher was what was called a "heavenly pond", mainly fed by precipitation in the Mulde and likely to dry up during periods of drought and heat!

Nicely tarred cycle path from Bietigheim to Besigheim, mostly below the vineyards. Always along the Enz. With refreshment stops along the way. However, due to illness, the popular beer garden "Zum Posten 35" is only open on Sundays from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

From the Schlossbergturm, you have a panoramic view over large parts of Northern Baden and Northern Wuerttemberg. Depending on the weather and visibility, you can recognize, among other things: To the west: the Rhine plain and, in very clear conditions, the Vosges mountains in France. To the southwest: the Northern Black Forest. To the south: the Stromberg, whose highest elevation is the Baiselsberg. To the east: the hilly landscape of the Kraichgau and towards the Heckengäu. To the north: the Odenwald forest, but only with exceptionally good long-distance visibility. On particularly clear days, the visibility extends up to 70–100 km. Therefore, the tower is a popular viewpoint for photographers and hikers. Tip: The best long-distance visibility is often in the morning after a cold front or on dry autumn and winter days when the air is particularly clear.
