The Neckar Wine Trail is a scenic hiking trail that leads through the vineyards along the Neckar River. This route offers breathtaking views of the Neckar Valley and the surrounding vineyards, which are particularly awash with color in autumn.

The memorial is designed in the form of a Star of David and each community has designed its own "stone". Very interesting to look at.

March 22, 2025,Neckarsteig Etappe 8: Mosbach - Gundelsheim
Today we embarked on our 4th stage of the Neckarsteig Trail – officially the 8th, from Mosbach to Gundelsheim. We took the bus (rail replacement service) from Gundelsheim to the Mosbach train station, and after a short walk through the old town, we set off on the Neckarsteig Trail. A few drops of rain fell, but thankfully that soon passed, …

The official Neckarsteig trail is closed from Michaelsberg (down the vineyards). We took a detour via the field paths.

After the Margaretenschlucht near Neckargerach is closed until the beginning of October, we skipped the 7th stage. Strengthened with a delicious warm steamed noodle fresh from the market, we then started on a rather humid tour. Therefore there are only a few pictures this time.

We walked the original Neckarsteig, although you can also take shortcuts between Michaelsberg and the castle with only slight inclines, great route with real highlights and nice encounters. Plants: Carthusian Pink, Viper's Bugloss, Hart's-tongue Fern, 500-year-old Yew tree.

After crossing the futuristic pedestrian bridge, the path continues along the shady banks of the Neckar, past abandoned vineyards, to the first view of Hornberg Castle.
Then I head up into the forest, where the damage from the last storms is clearly visible.
After a long stretch, I emerge from the forest and stand directly in front of the impressive …

I chose this tour because there are three big climbs to climb. The 1st Mosbach - Bergfeld. The 2nd Neckarzimmern - Hornberg Castle and the 3rd Hassmersheim station - Michaelberg. Everything went smoothly and without any problems. Heart play me.🫀❤️‍🔥♥️

With diversion of the Neckarsteig at Michaelisberg, as the Himmelsleiter is closed.
