View of Burg Neidenstein

Highlight • Viewpoint

The castle in Neidenstein stands majestically on the hill above Neidenstein. But since it is privately owned, you can only admire it from a distance.

Zwingenberg Castle is simply beautiful! It can be seen in all its glory from the small road to Neunkirchen. The road itself is highly recommended for cyclists, as it's a pleasant ride with little traffic.

June 10, 2023,Main - Jagst- Kocher - Neckar: Tag 8/10

Started early in Bad Wimpfen, until Mosbach one castle followed the other, seen Zwingenberg in a postcard idyll. After a city tour through Eberbach with obligatory refreshments, continue to Hirschhorn. The town is a gem, small but nice. Bad road to Neckarsteinach and then Heidelberg! A shock after all the rest of the last 8 days. The crowds pushed us …

July 14, 2025,Bad Wimpfen - Heidelberg, Nass bis auf die Knochen 🌦️

We sat out the first two downpours with a shandy and a snack. During the third and heaviest downpour, which we didn't see coming because we were in too much forest, we got soaked to the skin. The tree we had chosen couldn't save us ☹️. The water just ran down the trunk.

After we spent a wonderful evening in Bad Wimpfen, we continued on towards Heidelberg today. Perfect weather, beautiful villages and towns as well as many castles 🏰 framed this great tour 😀.

After the first rain shower we set off and were very happy about the Neckartal cycle path 😍 Brettleben and with only a few sandy muddy patches from the flood we made quick progress.
At Obrigen we ignored the fact that our cycle path was closed due to construction work. After about 7 km!! the construction work came and we …

Yes, near the town of Hirschhorn, the Neckar actually flows through Hesse for a short distance. Today, too, there was an enormous variety of landscapes to see, from wide plains to the narrow valleys of the Odenwald, everything was there. Numerous romantic places with castles and palaces alternated with each other. The cycle path was also well developed here. Highly …
