Highlights along the Neckar
entertaining - varied - contrasting
There is a lot to discover on 375 kilometers of the Neckar Valley cycle path. You should definitely not miss out on the following highlights!
The lord of the castle tells us about his family history. The von Gemmingens have lived at Guttenberg Castle for six centuries and even Luther's contemporaries found refuge here. It is well worth taking a break on the Neckar Valley cycle path. Climb a castle and be guided by the baron himself.
Discoveries off the main route, starting at the source: Where does the Neckar really originate? In that mystical moor or in the park where the source was later officially tapped? Experts have been arguing about this for centuries.
The history of Rottweil, the oldest town in Baden-Württemberg, is almost two millennia old, just a few years that of the Thyssenkrupp test tower, which towers over the old town with the highest visitor platform in Germany. A river landscape for explorers with many ups and downs and a few oases of nature that show what the Neckar used to be like: a wild fellow that the Celts called “Nikros” and their descendants “Neccarus”.
