Beautiful views, plenty of history, and a thrilling descent

**Start/End: Heidelberg Old Town; exact meeting point provided upon registration** From Heidelberg’s Old Town to the rolling hills of the Odenwald. We’ll follow a variety of paths along three waterways, two former railroad lines, and forest trails into the rolling hills of the Odenwald. Along the way, we’ll enjoy beautiful views of the Dilsberg and the four castles in Neckarsteinach, which rise picturesquely above the banks of the Neckar. In Schönau, there are many historical traces of the Cistercians to discover. The local Hühnerfautei is one of the oldest and best-preserved secular buildings in Baden-Württemberg. On the old route between Schönau and Ziegelhausen, we’ll then head back to the Neckar along the Schafbach stream. Perhaps you’d like to stop for a bite to eat together in Ziegelhausen afterward? ******* Tour length: 32 km Elevation gain: 430 m Average speed: 15 km/h Route/suitable for which bike? • Asphalt and forest trails • Mountain bike, e-bike Price: €12 Registration: Bike Guide Ingrid Karaalp ingrid.radguide@gmail.com (Tour led by Bike Guide Elisabeth Breunig)
