Beautiful large market square in the center of Rottenburg. Framed by the St. Martin Cathedral and the town hall. Lots of restaurants around the market square as well as a large fruit and vegetable stand.

The bike path in Goldersbachtal is the main street and therefore the most frequented route in Schönbuch

There are several ways to cycle through Rottenburg. Either on the Neckar Valley cycle path, always directly along the Neckar, or through the old town with a large market square and winding streets. You should bring some time with you for this.
