The Bocksberg Circular Route is a short hike that surprises with some of the most beautiful viewpoints throughout the entire Neckar Valley. At the northernmost point of the loop, there is a spectacular view of Eberbach and Neckarwimmersbach.
Just a few meters further is the Four-Valleys View: besides the Neckar Valley, the view impresses with the Gammelsbach Valley, the Gretengrund, and the Itter Valley. After only 700 m, the Karl-Sohns Hut (resting opportunity) offers a wonderful view over the Pleutersbach orchard meadows, the village, and the magnificent Neckar Valley.
