Cycling

The former Bottwartalbahn was a narrow-gauge railway. The old railway bridge is not accessible. Unfortunately, it gradually decays. However, you drive from Steinheim to almost the mouth of the Murr in the Neckar on parts of the former narrow-gauge railway line - a very well-developed footpath and bike path without any gradients, which is closed to motor vehicles of all kinds.
