A surprisingly beautiful route. I picked it up from my sister-in-law and rode it today with the RFV Jöhlingen. I hadn't heard of Steinsberg Castle. Wonderful view, I'll definitely go there again in the near future. The route between Elsenz and Eppingen was also new to me and very beautiful.

The Steinsberg is located quite centrally in the northern part of the Kraichgau, which covers the entire width between the Upper Rhine Plain in the west and the middle Neckar Valley in the east, and is the highest elevation in the Kraichgau at 333.2 m above sea level.
Steinsberg Castle is located in Weiler, a district of Sinsheim...

A wonderful tour with Felix and Susanne. From St. Michael's Chapel in Eichelberg, if the visibility is good, you can supposedly see the other two St. Michael's Chapels in Cleebronn and Untergrombach. Unfortunately, we couldn't make it (without binoculars). But the view was still magnificent.

The round starts in Elsenz. The first bit leads you more or less downhill
