After checking into the hotel, we went for a walk of about 6 km. Along the Kocher to the customs house and the bridge. From there through the castle park and then through the town. We had a bite to eat in a restaurant and then walked to the Dörnle Stadtmaunerturm and then on to the ruins of Lichteneck Castle. From there we walked through the vineyards as the sun set.
