Starting in lovely Besigheim with a city center that is well worth seeing, the journey went to the mouth of the Enz in the Neckar and then on towards Lauffen. Cycling along the river, directly past the recently decommissioned Neckarwestheim nuclear power plant, is fun and you reach Heilbronn through an inviting park landscape. Break. Then it went back along …

The tour along the rock gardens is very beautiful and varied. The grape harvest is probably still hard work today. The stairs in the steep slopes are narrow and steep.
Besigheim with all the half-timbered houses is worth seeing.

After spending yesterday in the Stauferland (by car) around Schwäbisch Gmünd and Lorch Monastery, today I saddled up my electric bike and treated myself to a leisurely ride, not into the Stauferland but into the Unterland. The variety of regions in our country? Amazing! And each one more beautiful than the last. Photo 1 is a glimpse into the past, …

As I passed the "Test site for autonomous driving" sign in Heilbronn, I wondered when it would be time for bicycles to learn to drive autonomously. Does that make sense? Probably not.
The BuGa site is still somehow appealing. Today, with this weather, it was of course the stark opposite of deserted.
On the Theresienwiese, I passed the memorial plaque …

So today I finally went cycling again with a fresh flu and Covid vaccination. No plan, but always followed my nose. I've ridden this route several times and was excited to see what was new. There was simply nothing new. Except that a construction site on the new Enz bridge at the edge of Besigheim suggests that this could be …

What particularly struck me today is that on a bike ride you pass buildings, monuments and memorials, all of which can be assigned to different eras. Then, after visiting a ruin from Roman times, you stand in front of the ruins of a nuclear power plant, which can be assigned to the modern era. And that too has been history …

May 26, 2024,Von Hessigheim nach Heilbronn am Neckar

After climbing in the Hessigheim rock gardens, I wanted to treat myself to a mountain bike ride home along the Neckar. From Lauffen, I was able to ride along the river on the opposite side of the cycle path. Wonderful meadow paths, then vineyards with a view and a short trail leads to Nordheim. I then dutifully did the rest …

I have now completed my first 60 km ride of the year. I noticed that the battery consumption adapts to the increasing age of the rider. Two bars were still left today. I don't know how much further I could have gone with them. The mobile phone battery also gave up prematurely, so it gladly accepted the support of the …
