The castle park was acquired by the municipality and laid out in its current form between 1982 and 1988. There is a large pond with a pavilion nearby, some sculptures, and many trees that provide shade. You can feel quite comfortable there.

"In the middle of the village stands the three-story Lower Castle of Gemmingen, the manor house of the Gemmingen family. The building was probably built in 1592 on the foundations of the Lower Castle, which was built around 1274. Next to the castle there is a medieval defensive tower. The castle has a magnificent Renaissance portal, and on the castle wall there are numerous historical gravestones of the Lords of Gemmingen, which were moved from the old church when the new church was built in the 19th century. The adjacent large castle park was purchased by the municipality and laid out in its current form between 1982 and 1988." https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemmingen To the left in front of the main building of the castle, on the way to the castle park, there is a historical three-marker that was found in the forest, restored and placed here.

The impressive and large Chartaque watchtower is located near the hiking parking lot. It's well worth climbing the steps to enjoy the view from the top. It's a fantastic project, built here by students between 1981 and 1983.
