シュピーゲルベルクのおすすめツーリングルート

Limes

From the elevated position around Maienfels Castle, a wide, atmospheric view opens up into the Brettach Valley – with rolling hills, orchards, and small hamlets that blend harmoniously into the landscape. Especially on a clear day or in the golden evening light, a panorama unfolds that invites you to linger and marvel.

Directly below Maienfels Castle lies the Protestant Castle Church – a Gothic-influenced religious building dating back to 1433. In 1613, the former castle chapel was converted into a church and is still connected to the castle today via a path through the castle wall. The church impresses with its horseshoe gallery, tracery windows, and Art Nouveau furnishings. Particularly noteworthy are the late Impressionist altarpiece "Jesus and the Samaritan Woman at Jacob's Well" by Ernst H. Graeser and the small bell tower with its Italian-style cap.

Maienfels Castle towers high above the Brettach Valley – a medieval hilltop castle dating back to the 13th century, which is still largely intact today. The impressive half-timbered structure of the Gemming Palace is visible from afar and lends the town a fairytale feel. The castle is privately owned but can be visited in the courtyard when the gate is open.

Lost Place

This church on the nearby hill was the parish church of the monastery and the town. It was dedicated to Mary and has borne the name of the monastery's founder since the Reformation. Today, it serves, among other things, as a cemetery church. Walterich was buried in a grave made from Roman spolia. It was the destination of a pilgrimage, and to this day, many Murrhardt residents come during Lent to view the Mount of Olives on the exterior of the church. This is a magnificent 16th-century carving depicting the Passion of Christ.

There are beautiful views all around Maienfels.
