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.

Very nice and wide newly developed cycle path

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.
