A very beautiful section of the Neckar Valley Cycle Route

Unfortunately, this section in particular is closed at least until autumn due to the risk of tree breakage.

This section is well developed and a dream for racing cyclists! But be careful, there is a lot going on here at the weekend when the weather is good. Although there is sometimes a separate pedestrian path, you may have to go slalom here. Therefore, I recommend that you tackle this route during the week or on the weekend, especially early in the morning or late in the evening.

From here you have a view of the Remseck, which was extensively redesigned for the State Garden Show 2019. The wooden bridges with glass-plate roofs, the beach (where swimming is not allowed), the sensationally located beer garden on the so-called Hechtkopf (closed in May 2021, of course), the footbridge on the Rems and much more can be explored here. A detour is very worthwhile. I can well understand that the place is used by many people as a destination for excursions

Vineyards can be seen in some places from the Neckar Cycle Path. Not so well here. Most of the photos in this highlight are not from this spot.
