Hiking

The Schwaikheimer Torturm is the most striking historical landmark of the town of Winnenden and, together with the medieval town fortifications, formed the main entrance to the old town. Its stone passageway – the Schwaikheimer Tor – is considered, along with the remaining parts of the town wall, to be the oldest preserved building structure in Winnenden. The tower was probably built in the second half of the 13th century during the first comprehensive town wall construction. The massive stone ground floor and the stair tower formed the foundation for the defense of the town.
