The ruins are beautifully situated, and the view extends over the whole of Schelklingen. The tower is open every first Sunday of the month from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. between May and September. There is also a bench below the tower from which you can enjoy the view particularly well.

Great barbecue area with several grill spots. The children can let off steam on the playground next door.

Beautiful, but not really room to ride a bike. You should only walk here, especially as it is quite narrow and steep.

On the beautifully landscaped duck island, the birds are frolicking around ready to forage. The brown trout are in the crystal-clear waters of the Aach. Here, the fauna along the natural course of the water can really be experienced.
