By far the best of the three castle ruins. It even has a small spiral staircase. Benches are set up on the ruins' plateau.

The parish church of St. Peter forms the center of the churchyard, which is laid out in a ring on a small spur and fortified like a castle by a moat and defensive wall. The nave, which appears very squat, responds to the limited space and still has its original roof structure, built in 1468 (1467/68). In times of crisis, it served as a place of refuge for the population. In 1499, the tower choir was added by stonemasons from Maulbronn. Among the stonemasons' marks is the mark of the Maulbronn master builder Conrad von Schmie.

Beautiful view below the Löffelstelz castle ruins directly at the Enz bridge over the river to Dürrmenz.

Interesting church in Gondelsheim - it can be seen from far away.

The fortified church in Lienzingen is a sensation! I have seen a few fortified churches. But this one really has to be called a fortified church. It is definitely unique in this area. I don't know of any comparable place in the whole world. In the fortified church you will not only find valuable information about this, but also about the surrounding old town, which is quite rightly completely protected as a monument.

The castle ruins have a great location on the edge of the steep rock face down to the Enz. Many information boards on site tell you about the history of the castle, which was originally called Dürrmenz Castle. A separate information board in front of the castle tells you about the castle's role as part of the Eppingen Lines.

The Kräheneck castle ruins, formerly also called Creinegg, are former fortifications from the 13th century. They are located in the forest of the Pforzheim district of Dillweißenstein. The Kräheneck ruins were built around 1250 as fortifications on the slope of the Weißenstein castle hill. The structure consisted of shield walls made of sandstone blocks, approximately 10 meters high. A wide ditch was built in front of them. It is assumed that the Kräheneck was built as an outwork to protect the Rabeneck castle below. As there are no documented references to its origins, it is estimated that it was built in the 13th or 14th century. The name Kräheneck is a popular name from the 19th century and cannot be verified by medieval documents. In 1928, an open-air stage was built in front of the shield wall for the "Kräheneck Castle Festival".
