District border between Schwarzwald-Baar and Rottweil

There is an old castle ruin here in a small loop of the Neckar. It is easy to recognize by the hills and a deep ditch as well as a flat area. The Celts and Romans probably already settled here. The castle ruin is larger and was probably more fortified than the other two nearby castle ruins. There was probably a heavily fortified motte or tower hill castle here. It is also conceivable that the castle is connected to the two other very close castles (one of which is called Neckarstätten) and was intended to protect the valley mill. After all, the border between two areas of rule is very close here. Perhaps the castle also served as a customs castle and customs were collected from here if the merchant wanted to enter the country along the Neckar. It is also special that this castle ruin is on the other side of the Neckar, although the Neckar itself was probably not a border river at this point and thus all three castles were in one country (Baden). Unfortunately, not much is known about the three local castles and the history of the Talmühle, so these are only assumptions.

A boundary stone with the number 47 marks the old border between Baden (slanting beams) and Württemberg (antlers). It dates from 1838.

The border between Baden (slanting beam) and Württemberg (three antlers) once ran along here. Today this border corresponds to the district borders of Rottweil and Schwarzwald-Baar. The boundary stone dates from 1838.

A lake has formed in part of the quarry. As a wetland biotope, it provides a home for several water-loving animals.

According to the hiking guide, there are supposed to be camels there🤔
