From JAGSTFELD TO HEIDELBERG, 35 M. (rail in 2-2 ¼ hrs.). The train crosses the Neckar. 2 M. Wimpfen, Wimpfen ‘im Thal’ and above it ‘Wimpfen am Berg’, both ‘enclaves’ of Hessen, with the salt-works and saline baths of Ludwigshall (*Bad-Hôtel zum Ritter; Hôtel Hammer, with fine view; *“Mathildenbad). The fine Gothic abbey-church in the valley was erected in 1262-78. Wimpten am Berg is said to occupy the site of the Roman station Cornelia, which was destroyed by the Huns under Attila.
