Neckarschleife Mundelsheim

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Mundelsheim Neckarschleife is one of the most impressive existing Neckarschleifen (once, many thousands of years ago, the Neckar made further loops and washed out further winding slopes, as near Gundelsheim or even further down near the Minneburg). The vineyard slopes stack up to an impressive wall and orient themselves like a parabolic mirror towards the sun.

In summer, on hot days, it becomes almost unbearably hot in the vineyards. Those who have time and leisure drive up the Trollinger Straße along the panoramic path halfway up to the Königshäusle, the impressive and widely visible stately Wängertshäusle of the Herzog von Württemberg winery, built by the former King of Württemberg. From here you have a magnificent view over the Neckar valley and the Neckarschleife and get a feel for the steep vineyard slopes and the effort involved in their cultivation.

Those who plan well take a bottle from the VDP winery at the foot of the mountain, at the last farmhouse in the village before entering the vineyards, and enjoy the magnificent view and location up here. Unfortunately, it is a dead end and you have to roll back down, but the Käsberg is worth all the effort.

View of the Felsengärten Besigheim

Highlight • Viewpoint

Don't drive past the rock gardens. You can also cycle or hike up. The magnificent view from the top is famous. The rugged, boldly towering shell limestone cliffs above the Neckar are a geological attraction that cannot be found anywhere else. The »Felsengarten« nature reserve is home to a large number of rare plant and animal species. The »rock gardens« have also made a name for themselves as an Eldorado for sport climbers. So stop and walk/cycle up.

Krappenfelsen viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Krappenfelsen rock is located in the heart of the "Katzenbeisser Steillagenareal" near Lauffen am Neckar. The view extends far across the Neckar Valley into the Zabergäu region and the Stromberg-Heuchelberg Nature Park. The viewpoint is accessible via a small, unpaved trail with a few steps.

Old Neckar Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Lauffen is a great stop between the Zabergäu and the Löwenstein Mountains. Alternatively, you can cycle along the Nackar River toward Heilbronn and then on to Heidelberg. In the town itself, there are several cafes and bakeries where you can stock up on provisions.

Vineyards in Neckarwestheim

Highlight • Natural

Neckarwestheim is located south of Heilbronn just above the Neckar. The place is known among other things for very good wine, which is produced by around 150 local winemakers.

Several streets and paths, from which you enjoy a great view of the Neckarschleifen, lead through the vineyards.

July 30, 2023,SonntagnachmittagTour zur Regiswindiskirche nach Lauffen - mit Gegenwind 😩

My destination today was the Rigiswindiskirche in Lauffen 🙋 - After we were unfortunately too late on Friday and the church was already closed (every day until 5 p.m.!), I had to make up for it today!
I went back along the Neckar and treated myself to a scoop of ice cream in Kirchheim - @🥾🥾 oder 🚴? favorite ice …

Finally spent some time on the bike again 😄
After we successfully completed the hiking marathon last Saturday, cycling is now back on the "sports plan" - how lovely 🚴!
Our spontaneous tour took us back to Lauffen today and back along the beautiful Neckar! What a wonderful area with the blossoming trees and even a stork didn't let itself …
