Who of Reutlingen is off towards the Black Forest on the L370 road, can the Castle easily overlooked, because the road runs close to the foot over a steep mountain slope, which bulges into the Neckar valley and moved with his wooded back the view. From the opposite direction greets the castle from afar, with a large main house and a small tower, the proud tower over the valley.
The road from the city Börsting up a narrow road up the hill, out of the valley, and up to the beautiful gate of the castle Weitenburg. The latest in the courtyard is conveyed with a mix of architectural styles and the history of the ensemble. Nearly a thousand years, it can bring in experience, it all started with a fortified fortress that has been transformed over the centuries into a residential palace and now houses a hotel. To enjoy the impressive view of the Neckar valley, you must go. The former palace kitchen, is still in the middle of the big smoke is seen, to a harmonious atmosphere Restaurant become reclassified, including ancestral portraits on the walls.
We sit at a table in a Fensterniesche and while we expect coffee and cake, binds us to the view. Under the window, the Neckar valley spreads in all its glory. Börsting has become a miniature village, the river Neckar winds its narrow meaning, accompanied by railway and road. In the distance a bridge behind it is the Black Forest and to Horb it is not far off. A bird of prey, a hawk, perhaps rising to the window and hovers at eye level with us, in the air. "Do not look away everything, I have to redraw again after everything," says the waitress as she parked her trolley in front of us.
is certain there is something very special to stay here as a hotel guest in this elegant old-fashioned rooms with views and feel a little like an aristocrat. Perhaps in places like this were a word like nobility. Only with power and money, it was possible to secure the best spot to be high. Quite logical that you feel this privilege had to consider the small subjects in the valley and seemingly safe from enemies. From such a perspective is created a very own look at the world. An aura, the current Prince of still seems to blow over. Well, at least by the time the skirmish is, that it is such property was used to each other in dispute.
After we looked down enough, we return to the valley and look up even once to the palace wide castle that belongs since 1720 the descendants of Baron Rupert Rassler. Who has the time bought by the way very regular and not conquered. Since the Middle Ages, there was already long gone.
