Tips
Below Eberstein Castle, there's a viewpoint overlooking Obertsrot with two benches. Below this square is the Grafensprung (Graf's Jump), which can be reached via a detour.

A detour is definitely worth it as this place has a nice history

According to legend, Wolf von Eberstein was on the run from Count Eberhard von Württemberg.
As he ran away, he steered his horse onto the rocky crest that protrudes steeply above the Murg and jumped down into the foaming abyss with a mighty spur. Miraculously, however, he remained unharmed himself, only his horse sank into the deep with shattered legs.
