On the map you can only see a railway bridge, but here is an extra path for pedestrians and cyclists. You have a nice view of the Neckar.

The four castles are easily accessible via the Burgenweg. I even saw young families with prams on the path.

There are several castles and castle ruins along the Neckar River. But here, four of them can be explored within a few meters. And each historic building is a little different.

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Great view over the Neckar to Neckarsteinach and the four castles. The path is firmly gravelled, so you can ride well even with thin road bike tires.
