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!

Walking along the Neckar with friends is fun even at 4°C. Ok, in the afternoon it was even 10.8°C.
And we had replacement rail services on the route between Neckargemünd and Eberbach. We then cycled the entire route back.

Due to logging work, we had to leave …

It was still relaxing to cycle along the Neckar River, especially towards the end when the sky was shining.
Before that, we had to overcome a few rainy stretches, such as the section up to Hirschhorn Castle or to Heidelberg.

We are finally cycling our "forgotten tour" from the Neckar Valley Cycle Path 2020! Start at the swimming pool in Eberbach - on the left side. We noticed right away that the Neckar Valley Cycle Path logo has changed!
