ヴァルハイムのおすすめツーリングルート

Great cycle path along the Neckar River. Idyllic and peaceful.

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.

Beautiful trail through the forest. Pleasantly cool in summer.

Very nice view.

A striking building in the village of Erligheim is the former Grüner Baum Inn. Built around 1600, it was also a former post office with a horse-changing station. On the staircase are columns bearing the coats of arms of the Lords of Gemmingen, the Counts of Neipperg, and the Lords of Wöllwarth, who once held the church's patronage. The Lords of Gemmingen and Neipperg, in turn, were feudal lords who owned the village, which, like Bönnigheim, was divided into four parts. In addition to those already mentioned, the Lords of Sachsenheim and Liebenstein also owned the village.

The hall church was built in 1686/87. It consists of a nave and a choir tower in the east, which was extended in 1687 with an octagonal timber-framed storey to house the clock tower and the belfry for the three church bells. The tower is topped by a bell dome crowned with a lantern. The interior of the nave, with galleries built along the long sides, is spanned by a flat ceiling. It is opened to the choir, i.e., the ground floor of the choir tower, by a chancel arch. The organ is a special feature. It formerly stood in the Order Chapel of Ludwigsburg Palace, later in the chapel of Stuttgart-Hohenheim Palace. King Frederick of Württemberg donated the organ to the church. It is probably the only surviving Württemberg court organ. Based on its gilded decorations, it is assumed to have been built in the Baroque period.
