Zwingenberg Castle is simply beautiful! It can be seen in all its glory from the small road to Neunkirchen. The road itself is highly recommended for cyclists, as it's a pleasant ride with little traffic.

A beautiful section of the trail around Hirschhorn. At the "forest sofa" near Hirschhorn, with its view of Hesse, you can sign a boundary book. A great idea from the forestry staff!

View of Neckarsteinach's Four Castles

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

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.

June 17, 2022,Neckar 6 Haßmersheim - Heidelberg

Day 5 of the 18th bike tour. Sure, the start was in Heilbronn. Due to the long distance to Heidelberg, a train journey to Haßmersheim was initially planned. There is the castle of Götz von Berlichingen. However, the S41 was an interurban tram. In the end, 9 bikes bumped into each other. With consideration that was not a problem and …

April 15, 2022,Fahrradtour von Heidelberg nach Stuttgart Teil 1

Unfortunately I didn't manage to track the whole tour to Stuttgart over 166 km (my passenger's speedometer). At least I was able to track the first part until shortly after Haßmersheim and from Haßmersheim part 2 to Favoritepark Ludwigsburg. In the last 30.6 km, the smartphone unfortunately ran out of breath. Well, I was also happy to reach Stuttgart main …

A cycle tour along the Neckar is also a pleasure when it is very hot if you drive up the Neckar on the right-hand side, as the forests reach down to the bottom of the valley. The sight is always a beautiful sight when castles and palaces appear on the slopes above medieval towns. A detour to the Margaret Gorge …

Today we arrived:
Heidelberg Castle schloss-heidelberg.de and
Zwingenberg Castle, to name just a few. The prospects are simply beautiful, even if …

July 14, 2025,Bad Wimpfen - Heidelberg, Nass bis auf die Knochen 🌦️

We sat out the first two downpours with a shandy and a snack. During the third and heaviest downpour, which we didn't see coming because we were in too much forest, we got soaked to the skin. The tree we had chosen couldn't save us ☹️. The water just ran down the trunk.

July 27, 2025,Tag 3 auf dem 3-Länderradweg Hessen, BaWü und Bayern

The last day of our three-day tour was quite relaxed in terms of kilometers, but riding half of it in the rain wasn't exactly fun.

But all in all, it was three enjoyable days of cycling.

Actually, it's a very nice tour. However, for long stretches—especially between Hirschhorn and Neckargemünd—the bike path consists of bumpy forest paths with lots of loose gravel, which somewhat detracts from the fun of the ride.
