The first lord of the castle was Hildebrand Spenlin from Breisach. The word "Spenlin" means "little shavings" (from a plane). In Alemannic usage, Spenlin is called "Spänle." Without the diminutive, Span = Spon. The castle is mentioned in documents as Spenlins Eck, Span-Egge, or the Sponeck.

A short detour from the main route takes you to Sponeck Castle. The castle is privately owned, but the large garden is freely accessible.

Great, almost mystical landscape with beautiful waters.

France is just across the Rhine. The Vosges Mountains can be clearly seen in the background if visibility is good enough.

very idyllic. The detour is very worthwhile and the tour can of course be extended here.

In hot weather, walk to the Rheinbrücke and back, the rest is in the sun

Nice little facility. Ideal for resting. The view is nice.
