Highlight • River

The Elztal-Radweg cycle path begins or ends here. Through the renaturation of the estuary area and the nearby Neckar riverbank, a refuge for flora and fauna has been created again. It's worth stopping for a moment to observe.

August 1, 2022,von Mosbach nach Hassmersheim und zurück

... still a little bit on the Neckartal cycle path which we missed from our 2020 tour 🚴

Stop off at the Gasthof "zum Ritter" in Hassmersheim! Small but fine Vesper menu, beautiful beer garden and very friendly owners. Really recommendable!!!

January 11, 2025,Fahrradtour mit Kaffee trinken

Today was a short tour, but nice. I didn't want to cycle alone today, asked @Marco radelt 🚲. He said yes, and on the short ride with the bio bike the idea came up to have a coffee, so I went to Rewe in Hassmersheim. It was nice. Thank you @Marco radelt 🚲.

Relaxing, beautiful tour next to the Neckar. Short café break in Hassmersheim. Unfortunately, the beautiful ice cream parlor in Diedesheim had already closed.

Finally we were able to go on a tour together again! In the best weather we went to Haßmersheim for a cup of coffee ☕️🍰. It is already light for much longer and gradually we can make better use of the day again 👍😀👍

July 2, 2024,Es zieht sich schon wieder zu ...

According to the weather forecast, it "could" rain from 11 a.m. (it hasn't rained for a long time 🤮). So I quickly took at least a short ride along the Neckar. Today I only rode on cycle paths - apart from a very short stretch near Neckarzimmern. Well, what about the weather? At the end I drove towards thick, black …

December 20, 2025,Die WfimdewieoUf-Tour 🤔⁉️

The "Why am I riding my e-bike if I'm just going to ride without assistance anyway" tour 🤔🥴😀.

Today I just wanted to try out how the new bike behaves in "off" mode. Aside from the extra weight, there's no significant difference. With the gearing, even moderate inclines are manageable. The only odd thing is that I still used 3% …

November 5, 2025,Eine schöne Runde bei sinkenden Temperaturen 👌

Well, the days are getting shorter – you can really feel it now 😫. I drove home with my lights on for the first time, because it's already pretty dark by 5 pm (and it's only going to get worse 🤣).

Still, getting out and about, and taking rides in the dark aren't bad either 👍😀👍
