Gravel Path Along the Neckar

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Below the Neckartalstraße, the dirt road always follows the Neckar. This avoids traffic noise and the exhaust gases on the bike path above it.

Neckar Riverside Path

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Always along the Neckar: You always run on asphalt, but rather shady under old trees. The section can be used well for an approximately 11 km long round along the Neckar.

Horkheim Lock

Highlight • Structure

The Horkheim barrage is a canal barrage and consists of a double lock on the right bank and a power station to the left of it. In the upper water, there is a side canal about 2.9 km long. The associated weir that regulates the dam in this section is in the Horkheim Altneckar.

A road bridge runs over the lower head at about platform height. It connects the land side with the Horkheim island. The lock extension is therefore to be carried out in the direction of the upper water. From a nautical point of view, the right, land-side lock chamber is suitable for the extension for the 135 m long inland vessel. (Source: wna-heidelberg.wsv.de)

Götzenturm

Highlight • Monument

Two towers still bear witness to the once mighty city wall: the idol tower, built in 1392, was the southwest cornerstone; the bulwark tower fortified the northwest corner. In 1519, Götz von Berlichingen, Württemberg magistrate in Möckmühl, spent one night in the bulwark tower as a prisoner of the Swabian League. Heilbronn's actual "Idol Tower" was given the name "Bulwark Tower" when the Swedes and the French expanded the immediate area around the tower into a strong bulwark during the Thirty Years' War. Since 1985, a silhouette-like disc man has been balancing “over the abyss” on the roof of the idol tower. The sculpture of the same name was created by the Berlin-based artist Hubertus von der Goltz.

Neckar North Bank with Fitness Equipment

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Can only join Chrisss here - due to the large companies not as great as the other side of the river. However, if you want to include the sports equipment in the running lap, you are in good hands here.
