20 parasta linnaa lähellä Eppingen

Helmikuun 26. päivästä 2026 lähtien linna ja ravintola ovat toistaiseksi suljettuina.

The well-preserved castle is an essential part of the historic old town, perched on a hill. And we felt the same way as @Scout Jens: the view from below of the castle and old town had a certain promise and was the most beautiful view.

Menzingen Castle is a Renaissance-era moated castle located in Kraichtal-Menzingen in the Karlsruhe district. Dating back to the Middle Ages, the castle was rebuilt by the Lords of Mentzingen in the 16th century and destroyed during World War II. The castle ruins are privately owned and not open to the public. An information board with a good view of the ruins is located at the rest area outside.

Linnan puisto siirtyi kunnan omistukseen ja se sai nykyisen muotonsa vuosina 1982–1988. Siellä on suuri lampi paviljongin läheisyydessä, joitakin veistoksia ja paljon varjoa antavia puita. Siellä viihtyy mainiosti.

In the heart of Gemmingen, between the castle courtyard and Wiesenstrasse, is the old stately castle park, which was acquired and renovated by the municipality of Gemmingen in the 1980s. The idea behind it was English gardening. The center of the site today is the castle park pond, which is fed by its own spring, the Murrbach, and mainly by an old pipe from the Losterbach spring. Adjacent to the northern bank is an octagonal wooden pavilion. There are various events, concerts, children's performances and also an open-air cinema. Every two years, the park festival takes place across the entire area, organized by Gemmingen and Stebbach clubs. Not far from the pavilion, on the edge of the path, you will come across a bronze group, the Gänseliesel. It was donated by a Gemmingen citizen. There is also an old war memorial in a clearing in the trees. The castle park is now the green heart of the municipality and is an integral part of community life. (Source: Heilbronnerland.de)

The moated castle has something of a fairytale castle

It's really beautiful all around, you should see it

The castle is beautiful and you have a great view of the country from there. A detour by bike is also worthwhile because of the many historic buildings in the old town, which are well described on information boards.
