Used the short rain break to find accommodation a little more centrally and to make a new plan. Unfortunately, the weather forecast for the next few days is not that great.

Before it gets really cold again, I set off again today. For lack of other brilliant ideas, I just took the Neckar Valley Cycle Path to Heilbronn. By the way, I can only recommend it to everyone in weather like today. There are no other cyclists on the road. It's almost as if the beautiful cycle path was made just …

As I passed the "Test site for autonomous driving" sign in Heilbronn, I wondered when it would be time for bicycles to learn to drive autonomously. Does that make sense? Probably not.
The BuGa site is still somehow appealing. Today, with this weather, it was of course the stark opposite of deserted.
On the Theresienwiese, I passed the memorial plaque …

Starting in lovely Besigheim with a city center that is well worth seeing, the journey went to the mouth of the Enz in the Neckar and then on towards Lauffen. Cycling along the river, directly past the recently decommissioned Neckarwestheim nuclear power plant, is fun and you reach Heilbronn through an inviting park landscape. Break. Then it went back along …

After spending yesterday in the Stauferland (by car) around Schwäbisch Gmünd and Lorch Monastery, today I saddled up my electric bike and treated myself to a leisurely ride, not into the Stauferland but into the Unterland. The variety of regions in our country? Amazing! And each one more beautiful than the last. Photo 1 is a glimpse into the past, …

The tour along the rock gardens is very beautiful and varied. The grape harvest is probably still hard work today. The stairs in the steep slopes are narrow and steep.
Besigheim with all the half-timbered houses is worth seeing.

Yes, I know Bietigheim-Bissingen is not on the Neckar and therefore not on the Neckar Cycle Path.
Because of the better accessibility by public transport, I started here anyway and rode the next stage of the Neckar cycle path to Heilbronn. All in all, the river valley is a little less spectacular than on the previous stage, the slopes are …

June 15, 2022,1. Etappe Neckarradweg von Bietigheim-Bissingen nach Heilbronn

Wonderful tour in bright sunshine through the vineyards and along the Neckar, now arrived at the youth hostel in Heilbronn. A tube had to be changed in Lauffen, otherwise the tour went smoothly. We did the first part of the Neckar cycle path from the source to Rottenburg in 2017, I didn’t have a Komoot then, my daughter rode the …
