Hindenburgstraße Bicycle Street

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Here you roll 1.7km relaxed, because you always have the right of way.

Importance of bike lanes:
All road users, regardless of the means of transport, must adhere to the maximum speed of 30 km/h. Cyclists on cycle streets generally determine the speed and should be given special protection. They are generally allowed to ride next to each other. However, children under the age of eight must also use the footpath here, if one is available. They can use it up to the age of ten. Drivers of motor vehicles must be particularly careful on cycle lanes and adapt their speed to cycle traffic. An additional sign opens up a cycle lane for motor vehicles. This ensures that every motorist reaches his property.

Esslingen Historic Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

Esslingen Old Town, Esslingen am Neckar
lots to discover, lots to tell
The romantic old town with its over 200 half-timbered houses, the wine, the culture and wonderful people - there are many reasons to visit Esslingen. Right in the heart of the Stuttgart region and yet far away from the hustle and bustle of the big city, you can unwind. Framed by the Neckar and vineyards, crossed by water canals, and crowned by a castle that wasn't one. Esslingen tells stories on every corner. It's a great place to spend time - forget about everyday life.

For an urgent appointment in Stuttgart, I decided that the train would cost too much and there would be too little parking for the car and that Pia was better than both.

In terms of timing, it was a perfect landing

November 16, 2021,"Es pendelt doch niemand von Wernau nach Stuttgart!"

Mr. Wolfgang Sieler from the SPD, a member of the Wernau City Council, doubted that there was a Wernau resident who commutes to Stuttgart. So it was in the local gazette on the subject of "Cycle expressway to Stuttgart".

Mr. Sieler, as you can see here, cycling to Stuttgart is by no means a problem. Incidentally, there are two commuters …
