Today I finally managed to finish the Neckarsteig trail, which I started four years ago. The last leg from Gundelsheim to Bad Wimpfen was still missing. I started in Gundelsheim, first going to Guttenberg Castle. Unfortunately, dogs aren't allowed there, so I only looked from the outside and made a detour to the castle chapel, which was unfortunately closed, so I didn't get to see anything. I continued, first on wide forest roads, then on a short path, and then again on wide meadow paths past the Jewish cemetery to Heinsheim. The Jewish cemetery was established in the 16th century and at times was used by up to 25 Jewish communities between Eppingen, Mosbach, and Bad Wimpfen. 1152 gravestones have been preserved, dating from 1598 to 1937. During the Nazi regime, the cemetery was to be leveled and the gravestones put to "useful" use. Fortunately, this did not happen, but traces of willful desecration can still be seen today.

With its 100 steps, which climb approximately 40 meters, it connects various stations on the educational trail and leads through the western slope of the Neckar River. Here, forced laborers had to drag items from the Neckar River, some of which were heavier than themselves, up the hill. Today, the steep steps stand as a memorial to the hard work and inhumane conditions under which forced laborers and concentration camp prisoners worked.

This bridge was part of the railway line, which was essential for the transport of materials and workers. It connected key points of the facility and played a central role in the logistics of armaments production.

At the end of the tunnel, which was part of the Heidelberg–Aglasterhausen–Mosbach railway line, the so-called "Finkenhof" station was built. This served as an important transfer station for people and materials transported to the two factories. The station building, which remained standing after the war, is now used as a warehouse. The tunnel entrance and the remains of the station are silent witnesses to the past and recall the logistical importance of this location during World War II.
