The book states that …

Steinsberg Castle - the landmark of the city of Sinsheim. A well-preserved castle complex with an octagonal keep. From the castle grounds, which are freely accessible at any time, you have a wonderful view over Sinsheim and the Kraichgau. You can climb the tower on narrow and steep oak stairs and enjoy the great panoramic view.
