Stress-free alternative to the main road into the beautiful countryside.

Not a scenic highlight, but it allows you to change areas between Nattheim and Steinweiler without any stress.

A great little street off the main road. No cars and lots of scenery.

A castle on the same spot was mentioned as early as 1236, when it and its manor were given as a gift by Count Hartmann IV of Dillingen to Neresheim Monastery. The current castle was probably built in the middle of the 16th century under the lord of the castle, Phillipp von Leonrod, or his son Georg Wilhelm. The castle later owned the noble families St. Vincent zu Ballmertshofen and Thurn und Taxis. Under the Thurn and Taxis family, the castle was the seat of the princely head huntsman and then the princely revenue office. In 1865 the municipality of Ballmertshofen acquired the building and set up a school and town hall in it. For a short time in 1940 the castle was used as a prisoner of war camp and after the war as accommodation for displaced persons. In 1959 the village school was housed there until the early 1970s. The badly neglected castle was renovated and restored between 1986 and 1994. Today it houses, amongst other things, the Burgtheater and the Burgruine Museum. a rural picture gallery.

The beautiful cycle path leads from Schnaitheim to Nattheim next to the main road. It goes under the Lindletal bridge, which is 48 m high and 300 m long. It also passes the Ramenstein, which is 570 m above sea level and contains a U-shaped cave that is around 45 m long. The cave is closed over the winter to protect hibernating bats.

Here it rolls beautifully through the valley.

Good place to stop for a break with a view of Katzenstein Castle.

An oasis of peace, apart from the beer garden. There are also biotopes and protected areas where you are not allowed to go with a pedal boat.
