Ambitious mountain bikers will love this tour - with a single trail and adventure trail section of approx. 10% as well as several cultural and scenic highlights, mountain bikers' hearts will beat faster. From the starting point, the route first takes you through the historic old town of Neckargemünd and over the Friedensbrücke bridge to Kleingemünd. After a steep climb, you cycle along the slope towards Heidelberg-Ziegelhausen - with wonderful views of the Neckar valley. The route climbs steeply to the Köpfel leisure centre. At the Sengesselloch, a long and steep climb awaits you up to the Weißer Stein, where you can stop for refreshments. A narrow path leads to Zollstock, from here the route continues at a relaxed pace to Heiligenberg. A former hiking trail leads down to Heidelberg's Old Town, which boasts both cultural and gastronomic highlights. The tour then leads steeply up the road and then into Rohrbach Forest. A very long single trail takes you to the Blockhaus and then uphill to the Königstuhl. Finally, the route descends at breakneck speed via the Felsenmeer to Neckargemünd, where the local restaurant invites you to a well-earned final stop.
