The Kaisersträßle is an east-west connection line handed down from the Middle Ages over the ridges of the Schurwald. It is popularly said that the Sträßle served the Hohenstaufen emperors for their rides from Hohenstaufen to their imperial palace in Waiblingen. Today's findings tend to doubt such a derivation, but do not want to dispute the importance of the road in the past. The same applies to the other traditional and still used designation of individual sections as "Roman road". However, the virgin forest on these roads supplied communities and towns in the area with wood, agricultural products, etc. for centuries.

Location and history: The Kaisersträßle is an east-west connection line handed down from the Middle Ages over the ridge of the Schurwald. It is popularly said that the Sträßle served the Hohenstaufen emperors for their rides from Hohenstaufen to their imperial palace in Waiblingen. Today's findings tend to doubt such a derivation, but do not want to dispute the importance of the road in the past. The same applies to the other traditional and still used designation of individual sections as "Roman road". However, the virgin forest on these roads supplied communities and towns in the area with wood, agricultural products, etc. for centuries.
The Kaiserstraße (also called "Kaisersträßle") is something like the "Schurwald-Hochstraße" - it almost follows the Schurwald ridge. Not all parts of the Kaiserstraße are accessible by car, however, by bicycle.
The Kaisersträßle is the historic high trail between Lorch and Winterbach.
It begins in the east in Kirneck at the junction from the B 297, leads through the street village of Rattenharz. From there the Kaisersträssle leads past the Schweizerhof to the Breech suburb of Börtling.
At the sharp left curve at the beginning of Breech, the Kaisersträssle continues straight through a larger forest area and joins the L 1147 near the Adelberg industrial area.
The Kaisersträssle is continued on the other side of the main road and leads from here to Oberberken.

From the tower you have a wonderful panoramic view, of the Kaiserberge, the Albtrauf, the airport, the television tower, into Hohenloh, the Waiblinger Bay and the Welzheimer Forest
