Neckar Bridge, Zwingenberg

Highlight • Bridge

The ferry had to make way for the bridge in Zwingenberg. However, it is now easier to cross to the other side of the Neckar River.

View of Zwingenberg Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

Zwingenberg Castle is simply beautiful! It can be seen in all its glory from the small road to Neunkirchen. The road itself is highly recommended for cyclists, as it's a pleasant ride with little traffic.

View of Eberbach

Highlight • Viewpoint

If you're on the Neckartal Cycle Path or the Odenwald-Madonnen-Radweg, you can look over the town of Eberbach from here. If you have the time and inclination, then the detour to the other bank worthwhile: The small town will enchant you with its half timbered charm and the numerous cafes and restaurants.

If you want to get an overview of Eberbach, you can look at the map here and there is a parking space that is easy to reach.

Dear touring cyclists who cycle from Eberbach to Hirschhorn or even Neckarsteinach! :
I see so many bikers driving along the B37. 😱That's one of the horrible parts! If you are not a racing bike rider, drive in Eberbach over the bridge towards Pleutersbach, Schwimmbad-Au, then on the cycle path to Hirschhorn, then over to the old town and then back on the other side of the Neckar to Neckarsteinach. This section is one of the most beautiful on the Neckar Valley cycle path and NOT on the B37!

Zwingenberg Castle

Highlight • Castle

The castle was probably built in the 13th century by the Hohenstaufen ministerial Wilhelm von Wimpfen, who is attributed to the family of the Lords of Kochendorf. The first documented mention dates from 1326. A nephew of Wilhelm von Wimpfen called himself von Zwingenberg. As the Zwingenberg family were considered robber barons, they were expelled from the castle in 1363 by Count Palatine Rupert I and it was demolished in the name and on behalf of the emperor. The Lords of Hirschhorn, who were granted the Zwingenburg in 1403, rebuilt it. After this family died out in 1632, the castle was the subject of an extensive legal dispute and changed hands between the Electorate of Mainz, the Electorate of the Palatinate and the Grand Duchy of Baden. Zwingenberg around 1850

On November 11, 1918, during the November Revolution, Frederick II, the last Grand Duke of Baden, fled from Karlsruhe to Zwingenberg Castle on the Neckar when armed men broke into his castle. He was followed there by the chairman of the People's Government, Anton Geiß, and the former Minister of State, Heinrich von und zu Bodman. They were able to extract a declaration from him in which the Grand Duke temporarily renounced the exercise of governmental power until a decision was made by a national assembly.[1]

The current lord of the castle is Ludwig Prince of Baden (* 1937), a descendant of the Grand Duke Karl Friedrich of Baden.

Above Zwingenberg Castle there are still remains of Fürstenstein Castle.

April 10, 2022,Aprilwetter im kleinen Odenwald ,Neckartal 🌨🌧❄🌬🚲
The plan was actually to continue to Schönbrunn and then down to the Meckar Valley to Hirschornbund home. But all of a sudden there was heavy snowfall, the temperature fell from 3 degrees to -1 degrees. And since there was still snow next to the road, I thought it would be too slippery going down the Horschhorn, so I returned …

Today we're making our way back along the panoramic trail... wonderful to unwind, riding down there in the warm breeze.
The trip there was at 5:30 a.m., fantastic with the rising sun 🌞

On the way back, a wasp came down the hill from the left into oncoming traffic 🐝😅

Today it was sunny but there was a cold wind. We first walked along the Neckar and then up the beautiful panoramic path, via Neunkirchen back into the forest where it was more sheltered from the wind.

After I already managed 1000km in May, I want to repeat it in June. Since it's going to be quite tight - due to the deadline - I wanted to go a step further today. Now only 170km are missing to the finish.
