The narrow path winds its way through dense mixed forest, past moss-covered rocks, small streams, and the historic mills that gave the valley its name.

From its history, design, and construction period to its world-famous owner...it's simply an impressive castle complex. A visit is a must.

There is actually the possibility to enjoy the 🏰 without power lines...

A very controversial project, very expensive. The cycle path was already well developed at that point, and then there are the costly construction measures for the Frießinger Mill and the two planned bridges, at the marina and the dam. The new surface is certainly a dream, but it won't last forever. The slightly wider expansion offers more space for busy traffic, but it has also resulted in the loss of nature. The bridges will be great and make cycling to the footbridge easier, and the bottleneck will be eliminated. However, the bridge maintenance costs will be enormous in one to two decades, and the connecting path will consume even more nature. In my opinion, there are towns that are poorly connected to the cycle network, or not at all, than Wimpfen to Heilbronn; it would have made more sense to invest here.
