The present-day castle had two, possibly even three, predecessor structures. After the Baden Margrave Hermann V was granted the town of Ettlingen, founded by the Hohenstaufen dynasty, by Emperor Frederick II, his son, Margrave Rudolf I of Baden, built a castle complex in the mid-13th century – possibly on the remains of a Hohenstaufen predecessor structure. However, no previous structure has yet been identified. The lower floors of the keep in the castle courtyard, which are still preserved today, date from this period. A magnificent Renaissance castle followed in the 16th century. Two round corner towers were added to the south wing, and the keep was given a half-timbered upper floor. The three-wing Renaissance complex surrounding the old keep, completed in 1600, was destroyed along with the entire town by French troops in 1689 during the War of the Palatinate Succession (Wikipedia).

Beautiful cycle path along the Pfinz

Freshly paved cycle path, suitable for racing bikes.

Beautiful half-timbered building right on the old market square. Renovated in 2019. Several flood marks from the Pfinz River can be seen on the building's cornerstones.

At the bottom, just before you turn onto the road to Waldbronn, the asphalt becomes a bit rough. Otherwise, it's a good ride.

View of the Pfinz from the bridge on Bahnhofstrasse.

Beautiful church building on a hill with a great view over the town. Unfortunately the church was closed.

The route is close to the road and therefore not very idyllic. But the path is good and fast.
