The game reserve is a special highlight for young and old. It is right on the side of the short five mill tour. There is also an automatic feeder right next to the game enclosure; the animals usually come directly to the fence to feed.

The Fünfmühlental begins in the Zimmerhof district, about 2 km northeast of the town center of Bad Rappenau and extends to the Siegelsbach-Gundelsheim road. One of the most beautiful hiking trails in the region leads along the forest-lined valley. Until after the Second World War, five water mills were in operation there, each bearing the name of their respective owners. Today there is a private fallow deer enclosure in this romantic valley. Some of the spa guest hikes run by the guest information center lead into this valley. The distance from Zimmerhof through the Fünfmühlental to Guttenberg Castle is around 5 km. In Zimmerhof, on a forest barbecue area and in the “Mühlenschenke” at the end of the valley, you can have a good rest. In dry weather the path is also suitable for strollers.

Siegelsbacher Mill

Highlight • Restaurant

The Mühlenwanderweg leads directly past the Mühlenschenke. This is very idyllic by the stream, meadows and forest. In the restaurant with a beautiful terrace, you can enjoy a good traditional meal. There is also a playground right next to it for children to move around.

Guttenberg Castle

Highlight • Castle

You simply must visit Guttenberg Castle and its falcons. The castle offers a fantastic view of the Neckar valley and the Odenwald forest. The food in the inn is also not to be underestimated. There is also plenty to do for children, making it a great place to linger.

The German Bird of Prey Observatory at Guttenberg Castle
Fascinating world: Around 60 large birds of prey and owls live here. Experience huge birds with a wingspan of over two meters, such as eagles and vultures, but also eagle owls in free flight high above Guttenberg Castle - whatever the weather! The castle's Staufian kennels offer a natural insight into the fascinating world of birds of prey. Interactive touchscreen stations and two display case exhibitions show selected birds of prey in typical habitats and various medium and small-sized birds of prey in Europe. Life-size silhouettes on the castle tower impressively demonstrate the enormous wingspans of birds of prey. (Source: burg-guttenberg.de/greifenwarte)

View of Ehrenberg Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

The grounds of Ehrenberg Castle from the early 12th century were directly related to the Hohenstaufen imperial palace in nearby Wimpfen. The Vorburg is still inhabited by the von Racknitz family, the ruins of the inner castle serve as a breeding station for birds of prey. As the castle is privately owned and inhabited, it cannot be visited.

This part of the valley is highly recommended, it is very worth seeing and cannot really be captured in pictures.
