Beschreibung
Follow the little Neckar stream from its source to a navigable river in Plochingen. Discover centuries of history along the banks of the Neckar, the oldest town in Baden-Württemberg, Rottweil, and other towns steeped in history such as Horb, Rottenburg, Tübingen and Nürtingen.
Pristine and close to nature: this is how the Neckar Valley Cycle Route presents itself on its first 165 km from the source of the Neckar near Schwenningen to Esslingen, just outside Stuttgart.
Follow the small stream that originates in the enchanting natural landscape of the Schwenninger Moos and experience at first hand how this trickle gradually develops into a stately and navigable river. First, the route winds its way through the Neckar Canyon, cut deep into the plateau between the Black Forest and the Swabian Alb, with its dense forests and pristine natural landscapes.
Shortly before the historic university town of Tübingen with its picturesque Neckar front and unique punting boat trips, the valley widens into a gently rolling landscape. Visible from afar, the Wurmlinger Chapel towers above the river and leads the way into a region full of cultural history, with one historic town more picturesque than the next. From the “walk-in history book” in the oldest town in Baden-Württemberg, Rottweil, to the elevated old town of Horb to the Hölderlin town of Nürtingen. The old towns with their market squares, colorful town houses and half-timbered buildings invite you to stroll and enjoy and offer a multitude of opportunities to explore the Neckar Valley.
