Kraichgau, Rolling hills region in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
The Kraichgau extends between Heidelberg, Karlsruhe, and Heilbronn, featuring gentle slopes, valleys, vineyards, orchards, and numerous small farming settlements across the landscape.
The region first appeared in written records within the Lorsch codex as 'Creichgowe' in 769, with its name derived from Celtic word 'Creuch' meaning mud or loam.
Each village in the Kraichgau maintains medieval castles and palaces, reflecting the historical presence of nobility and minnesingers throughout the territory.
The Kraichbach river path offers a cycling route from Unteröwisheim to Sternenfels, continuing to where the stream meets the Rhine at Ketsch.
The Steinsberg Castle, positioned at the highest point of Kraichgau, functions as a geographic compass for the entire region, visible from considerable distances.
