Neckar Riverside Pathway in Böckingen

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Actually, no grandiose highlight, the way along the Neckar is pretty nice. Except for a few bends and a few hundred meters of pavement, tidy asphalt and no traffic. The problem with Komoot: The route planner leads one during the passage from Heilbronn in north south direction by the district Böckingen and not along the Neckar. With the highlight here, you have with one click the "right" route.

Horkheim Lock

Highlight • Structure

The Horkheim barrage is a canal barrage and consists of a double lock on the right bank and a power station to the left of it. In the upper water, there is a side canal about 2.9 km long. The associated weir that regulates the dam in this section is in the Horkheim Altneckar.

A road bridge runs over the lower head at about platform height. It connects the land side with the Horkheim island. The lock extension is therefore to be carried out in the direction of the upper water. From a nautical point of view, the right, land-side lock chamber is suitable for the extension for the 135 m long inland vessel. (Source: wna-heidelberg.wsv.de)

Haberschlacht Village Square and 'Man in the Barrel' Statue

Highlight • Settlement

The village square in Haberschlacht is a central location in the village and is home to several interesting sights. One of the main attractions is the old wine press, a large classicist building that was built in 1837/38. Originally it served not only as a wine press, but also as a school and town hall, as well as living space for the schoolmaster and his assistants.

Climb Through the Vineyards from Haberschlacht to Niederhofen

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

The gradient is moderate, I estimate about five percent on average, maybe a maximum of eight, m the whole thing over two kilometers. The best conditions to either train strength endurance or simply enjoy going uphill. The climb through the vineyards to the forest is also very beautiful.
