Sun, no wind. A relaxed bike ride on the Neckar Valley Cycle Path.

The “Posthotel zur Sonne” (Post Hotel at the Sun) was built in 1697 as one of the first larger buildings outside the Upper Gate on the Vorstadtplatz (Suburb Square) by butcher, innkeeper, and mayor Johann Philipp Deublin. In the 18th century, there was already a royal route for coaches that led from Stuttgart via Nagold to Freudenstadt and Strasbourg. In 1807, King Frederick established a post office in the Gasthaus zur Sonne. A stable for changing horses was added in 1812. At times, up to 50 animals were housed there. In 1898, the business moved to a new post office building on Leonhardstraße. Under Paul and Emma Luz, the post office was transformed into a hotel. During renovations in 1906, running water and electricity were installed. Professor Robert Nachbauer from Stuttgart had the magnificent half-timbering in the Franconian style uncovered and designed the artistically significant inn sign. `` . ... . After taking over the hotel in 1950, Karl-Friedrich and Lore Scholl had it modernized. Until its sale in 1984, the Hotel Post remained in the possession and management of the same family for generations, although the names changed: Deublin, Gschwindt, Luz, and Scholl.

The bridge is named after the former Hotel Waldhorn, which stood nearby.

The fountain on the market square in Sulz am Neckar is a central and popular meeting place in the town. The fountain serves not only as a decorative element but also as a place for relaxation and socializing, especially on warm summer days. The tables in the outdoor restaurant area are shaded under the trees and extend almost to the fountain.

Unfortunately, it was closed during my visit. But it's also very attractive from the outside, with a remarkable memorial plaque commemorating the soldiers of Eutingen who fell in the First World War.

Old post station for changing horses. Rumor has it that Napoleon Bonaparte was also here. After all, the historic half-timbered house was one of the most important rest stops on the Stuttgart-Strasbourg stagecoach route. However, it is documented that Federal President Theodor Heuss and also the composer and musician James Lasst stayed overnight here.
