    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.

    Start at the hiking car park “Wimmersbacher Steige.” Follow the circular route marking “yellow 1” northwards. After about 400 m, the path forks – continue following 1 (not the sign to the upper repeater). Stay on path 1 for the entire circular route.
    Only when descending back to the car park do you change to the marking “blue cross,” which leads you back to the starting point across meadows and pastures.

    Only slight inclines, except for the steep descent to the car park.
    Elevations between 270 and 330 m above sea level.
