Before stopping off at the Waischenfeld Castle Gardens, a short detour to the "Steinerner Beutel" tower is absolutely worthwhile. It's a great photo opportunity, and the view from above of the many half-timbered houses is unique.

The Waischenfeld castle ruins on the Arndthöhe rock plateau, with its landmark, the "Stone Bag," the approximately 13-meter-high Romanesque round tower, are impressive, and the climb to the ruins of the rock castle is rewarded with a fantastic view of the Wiesenttal valley.
