ラウフェン・アム・ネッカーの洞窟・トップ20

This striking half-timbered house in Bönnigheim is the "Ratsstüble" (Rat's Inn) on the market square. It was built on the cellar vault of a previous building, dating back to at least 1458. It has a relatively small footprint and a height of 17 meters. The building has likely housed a restaurant since its construction. It is documented that it was owned by a master baker in 1685 and a master butcher in 1839. During the First World War, bakeries, butchers, and confectioneries were located here. Since 1945, it has been called the "Ratsstüble" – probably due to its proximity to the former town hall (which burned down in 1945). This is where the council members of the time met. In the 1970s, the inn was considered a trendy pub thanks to the students of the Hohenstein Institute and Schiller College. Today, you will find an inn here serving traditional Swabian cuisine.

The castle is not open to the public. Guided tours are occasionally available on Sundays (€10). Dates are published in the press. Registration is required by phone.

The picture could be of me. That's how I saw it on my tour when I came by...😃

Good bike path up to the castle. Route through the vineyards, little to no traffic. Steep approach, which is worthwhile. Once at the top, there is a great view. By the way, you can watch great sunsets from there!

Historical fountain in front of the Stadionsche Schloss

Great view in clear weather. However, anyone who wants to go to the castle on Sundays is often out of luck, as it is then closed for private parties.

Beautiful castle ruins with nice rest areas to linger

The historic center of Bönnigheim is always worth a visit. There you'll find the Ganerbenturm (Ganerben Tower), the Stadion Castle, and many places to stop for refreshments.
