From Bietenhausen you walk through meadows (currently hay harvest), along the Starzel.

The Kapffelsen (also known as Tiefstein) is located on the steep slope of the Starzel valley between Bietenhausen, Hirrlingen and Frommenhausen in the district of Tübingen. It belongs to the Kapfhalde nature reserve and is one of the most striking geotopes in the valley.

Quiet and relaxed along the Starzel. Apart from two cyclists, we met no one.

The church is still in use today and preserves wall paintings (from 1629) on the chancel arch with the legend of the Order of St. John and the church patron St. John the Baptist. One half of the castle building is used as a school. The once-walled castle grounds, which extended south and west of the castle and church, have been broken through by the country road to Bodelshausen since 1889.

I was surprised to find such a large, former Roman complex here. Impressive exhibition and excavations. A visit with children is recommended, there are family-friendly offers.
