    Hiking

    From the Pfarrer-Durmann-Straße you come to the massive Romanesque (early medieval) gate of the former church fortress Königsfeld. Parts of the Romanesque defensive wall are still preserved. The cuboid part of the tower of the today's church St. Jakobus (= own highlight) is also an early building from that time.
    More detailed information can be found in the online homeland guide "The History of Königsfeld for Young and Old": grundschule-koenigsfeld.de/?page_id=18084

    The church is inconspicuous from the outside, but beautiful inside.

    Hiking

    The complex with its ivy-covered gate, lanterns, statues and buildings exudes medieval nostalgia.
