The winding alleyways of Besigheim are an experience. Perched high above the Neckar, the old town is a delight for every visitor. Lauffen, where the famous Katzenbeisser wine is grown, is just as tranquil as Besigheim.
Winegrowing still dominates the banks of the Neckar, with small winegrowers' cottages peeking out from the hillsides next to the river.
The capital of Württemberg viticulture is Heilbronn. The city is surrounded by vineyards like an amphitheater. The experimenta, Germany's largest science center, is located here. And the 2019 Federal Horticultural Show has also changed a lot. Like a green lung, the Neckar runs through the city center almost like a park. Citybeach or Neckarbühne invite you to dangle your legs in the water during a break.
On the way towards the mouth of the river, you can visit a salt mine in Bad Friedrichshall. Before a town no less steeped in history awaits visitors on the other bank of the river: Bad Wimpfen, the largest Staufer imperial palace north of the Alps and a listed building in its entirety. Its silhouette with towers and walls on the banks of the Neckar is recognizable from afar.
