View of Gundelsheim and Guttenberg Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here you can see 3 castles, all 3 built on strategic points.
So they had everything in view back then and were reasonably safe from surprises.

View of Schloss Horneck and Gundelsheim

Highlight • Viewpoint

The lock is part of the Gundelsheim barrage. Numerous similar barrages were built along the Neckar in the 1930s to make the river more navigable. A bridge runs over the barrage, allowing pedestrians and cyclists to reach the other bank.

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

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% …

With a flat temperature of @Wolfgang, we headed to Gundelsheim to enjoy delicious coffee and cake 👍👌.

It was quite crowded, but we still managed to find a spot.

We made our way back in the twilight – well, that's just how it is 👍😀👍

The first tour with @Wolfgang in 2026 - finally 👍. There was so much to talk about, which is exactly why we only had time for a coffee 🤔 Of course, with cake we would have had to chew and wouldn't have been able to talk 👍😃👍

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 👍😀👍
