Loop
A Journey Through History This route invites visitors to explore the medieval streets of Esslingen am Neckar at their own pace. The path winds past colorful half-timbered houses that have lined these roads for hundreds of years. You will come across the Old Town Hall, known for its beautiful Renaissance front and special clock. The "Burg" (castle) sits high on the hill above, creating a scenic backdrop for the journey. Because some parts of the old town use historic cobblestones, the surface can be uneven, so comfortable shoes or wider bike tires are helpful. Keep an eye out for small wall lizards warming themselves on the stone walls on sunny days. It is a great way to see the city's sights and enjoy the outdoors.
