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)

Old Neckar Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Lauffen is a great stop between the Zabergäu and the Löwenstein Mountains. Alternatively, you can cycle along the Nackar River toward Heilbronn and then on to Heidelberg. In the town itself, there are several cafes and bakeries where you can stock up on provisions.

Neckar Cycle Path: Fast Asphalt Section Near Bürg

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Completely flat route along the Neckar. Good asphalt to let it roll fast. On weekends and public holidays, however, it is important to take care of the recreational cyclists. Then there is fast traffic jam on the track.
