Barge haulers, raftsmen, shipping

For a long time, towing, rafting, and shipping on the Neckar River were important economic factors. On the Eberbach towpath, participants learn a lot about the development of shipping, covering all stages from towage to motor ships. A visit to the town museum also shows the different types of ships that used to travel on the Neckar. This walk is rounded off with a visit to art objects dealing with the above-mentioned topics.
