Medieval hilltop castle above the village of Helfenberg, which belongs to Ilsfeld. There is not much left of the castle itself. A detour is worth it, however, just because of the view and the good air in any case. Around the castle hill leads a paved road, which can also be used well with the road bike. But downhill there is a barrier in between, around which one can only carry his bike around.

Unfortunately, only a watchtower can be seen here, a lot was damaged here in the Second World War, but it's still worth a look, I was there too, I'm a kind of castle and palace patrolman. 🙋👍
