Oberstenfeld

Few towns in Baden-Württemberg have a history as closely tied to a medieval women’s collegiate foundation as Oberstenfeld. The settlement lies in the Bottwar valley, where the Bottwar flows north through vineyards and wooded hills beneath the Löwenstein Mountains. Its key historic ensemble is Oberstenfeld Abbey, founded in the early 11th century; the former collegiate church of St John the Baptist preserves the town’s ecclesiastical character. Parts of the municipality also extend toward the uplands of the Swabian-Franconian Forest. Trace Oberstenfeld’s place in the Bottwar valley and the wider region by browsing webcams nearby.
