    Hiking

    The impressive and large Chartaque watchtower is located not far from the hiking parking lot. It is worth climbing the steps and enjoying the view from the top. It is a great project that was set up here by students between 1981 and 1983.

    Replica of a watchtower of the Eppinger Lines. The Eppinger lines were a fortified line of defense that stretched from Weißenstein near Pforzheim via Mühlacker, Sternenfels and Eppingen to Neckargemünd. It had a total length of 86 km. The Eppinger lines were built in the years 1695 to 1697 under the margrave Ludwig Wilhelm von Baden, also known as "Türkenlouis", in order to prevent French raids in the Palatinate War of Succession (1688-1697).

    Reconstruction of a watchtower of the Eppinger Line. The tower was built by the local secondary school in the 1980s. Respect!!! We built other things at school back then ...
