Driving up from Mühlen to Bildechingen, you'll find two benches in front of the railway line. If you like, you can enjoy the view over the Neckar Valley from here. And then continue your journey.

We're here today because of the small-leaved linden tree. We wanted to see the gigantic tree without its leaves. The linden is old, gnarled, and needs to be supported. Hopefully, it will be around for a long time to come.

🏰 The former water tower in Horb am Neckar is a striking example of the town's infrastructure history and an architectural highlight near Horb train station. Originally, it served to supply water to the steam locomotives at the important railway junction of Horb, as well as to the town's water supply. With the end of the steam locomotive era and the modernization of the water pipes, it lost its original technical function.
