House with an espaliered pear tree in Emsing

Highlight • Structure

Pears are growing on this house in Emsing! Pear trellis directly on a house wall. Next to grapevines, pears are probably the most well-known espalier fruit. The growth is brought into shape with ropes or wires as climbing aids. In the meantime, however, the trend is moving away from these strict lines and towards more natural fan shapes.

Brunneck Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

Built at the end of the 14th century by the Lords of Heideck, only two remains of the walls remain, which were made accessible again in 2017 after renovation. Beautiful view of Erlingshofen.
