When I was three years old I contracted whooping cough. At the time, the treatment consisted of symptomatic relief, and caregivers were advised to let patients into fresh air, preferably sea or mountain climate.
We neither had close to us but for six weeks my grandpa put me on his shoulders and walked up these hills until we reached the castle on the left, quite a lot of steep paths through the thick forest in wonderful, healthy air.
He was indefatigable.

A castle to the left, a castle to right. The choice is yours.

Weinheim, my home town, has given itself the monniker “The Two Castle Town”.
This is the Wachenburg, the younger one of the two, about 100 years old, built by student fraternities.
This is the Windeck, the older one, about 1000 years old, built to strengthen the influence of the abbey of Lorsch.
There are paths leading up to either, the choices are roads and paved paths as well as small, narrow footpaths through the woods. The latter are steeper but more fun to walk.
