Itinerary:
Day 1: Rothenburg - Individual arrival
Tour information and handing over of bicycles. In the
evening take a stroll through the singular medieval
old town. Enjoy the interesting buildings, places,
fountains and the remarkable Jewish history.
Day 2: Rothenburg – Mulfingen/Surroundings
(approx. 49 km hills, rivers)
An idyllic start in Rothenburg,
you cycle on the banks of the river Tauber past medieval
mills and little towns and enjoy a wonderful view on
the hilly Frankish landscape. The “Burgenweg” brings
you to the river Jagst. The day ends in Mulfingen.
Day
3: Mulfingen/Surroundings – Möckmühl/Surroundings
(approx. 51 km river landscape)
On you follow the Jagst through
the valley „Schöntal“ – literally
meaning „Beautiful valley“. The landscape
rightfully deserves this name with a lovely pasture.
You can visit the Zisterziensian monastery, where you
will find traces of the famous Götz von Berlichingen,
before you cycle through a number of small villages
and reach the day's destination with Möckmühl.
Day 4: Möckmühl/Surroundings - Mosbach
(approx. 37 km river landscape)
From Möckmühl you follow
again the course of the Jagst until you reach the mouth
to the Neckar. On the opposite bank the imposing Bad
Wimpfen is situated. Here you see the Roman “Wimpfener
Heaven of Gods” as well as the largest old emperors
castle north of the Alps.
Day 5: Mosbach - Hirschhorn (approx. 52 km river
landscape)
This part of the tour is especially
remarkable for the beautiful landscape. The Neckar
winds an idyllic way through the mountains of the Odenwald
and many lush meadows. You cycle past dreamy little
towns, characterised by many half timbered houses and
idyllic places. On the hills of the mountains a number
of old fortresses look down on the valley, enhancing
the fairy-tale character of the tour.
Day 6: Hirschhorn – Heidelberg
(approx. 30 km river landscape)
Today we cycle only a quite short
distance. So enough time remains to enjoy the beauties
of Heidelberg. The ensemble of the castle, the old
town and the river, embedded into the mountainside
makes Heidelberg one of the most beautiful cities
of Germany. Here also the oldest university of Germany
(since 1386) is situated.
Day 7: Individual departure
or Heidelberg – Neustadt/Weinstrasse (approx. 50 km)
This extension of the tour rewards
you with further highlights. The first part brings
you conveniently through the Rhine plains to Schwetzingen.
Here a visit of the well known residence is worth a
while. After crossing the Rhine you reach the dome-city
Speyer and further on the Wine-Street.
Day 8: Individual departure or extension of the stay
Enjoy.
