Waldenburg
A small town and princely castle on a mountain ridge, known as the “Balcony of Hohenlohe” for its views over the Hohenlohe plain.
Waldenburg is a tiny town perched at the tip of a ridge, about 500 m above sea level. Viewpoints along the town walls overlook the Hohenlohe plain and the Kocher valley, earning it the nickname “Balcony of Hohenlohe.”
The town has the castle of the Princes of Hohenlohe-Waldenburg (privately owned, though its exterior and inner courtyard can be viewed), medieval city walls and a small seal museum.
It's about 12 km from Schwäbisch Hall and makes a good stop on the way to Schloss Neuenstein. The evening views are best.
