Highlight • Viewpoint

There are several castles and castle ruins along the Neckar River. But here, four of them can be explored within a few meters. And each historic building is a little different.

Great view over the Neckar to Neckarsteinach and the four castles. The path is firmly gravelled, so you can ride well even with thin road bike tires.

Along the Neckar

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Along the Neckar it is nice and quiet, even if sometimes there is a lot of bicycle traffic. Traffic noise you hardly or not at all and the ride to Heidelberg is definitely worth it.
