Schwäbische Alb Baden-Württemberg Germany July 1972

We were working in Esslingen again and went for a day trip with Joachem and Hannah to the Schwäbische Alb 50 km to the south of the city.

The Jurassic limestones of the Alb typically weather like this with deep valleys and flat-topped peaks.

Unfortunately I don't know where this shot was taken. Can anyone identify the Schloss and view?
Thanks to Stephan (see below) I now know its Burgruine Hohenurach!

We went to Lichtenstein which is about 50 miles south & I'm assuming this is in the same area but of course it might not be!
I thought Burg Teck but no obvious tower here.
Yes, difficult !

By Jove you've got it Stephan. A Sherlock Holmes result! Thanks.
Just realised it's 50km south of Esslingen not 50 miles!
