The Criesbach Saddle is located on the county road from Criesbach up through the vineyards to Crispenhofen. Here, you can enjoy a beautiful panorama of the Kocher Valley at the rest area.

From here, there is a wide panoramic view over the Kocher Valley, the vineyards, and the Hohenlohe Plain, extending as far as the Löwenstein Mountains. The saddle lies at an altitude of approximately 330 meters and is a popular rest area with seating and an information panel.
