Neckar cycle path

Highlight • Trail

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!

Along the Neckar

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Along the Neckar it is nice and quiet, even if sometimes there is a lot of bicycle traffic. Traffic noise you hardly or not at all and the ride to Heidelberg is definitely worth it.

The route went directly along the Neckar through Pleutersbach in Baden to the Hessian border with the great "Grenzbuch" and the …

7th stage of the Neckar Valley Cycle Path. From Eberbach to Heidelberg. Unfortunately not so nice and recommendable. It is partly on federal roads over longer distances, partly on gravel forest roads and also Broeckelbeton routes.
