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.

August 7, 2024,Neckarsteig Etappe 6 Zwingenberg nach Neckargerach

We walked from Zwingenberg. The stage was actually supposed to start in Neunkirchen. Unfortunately, there is no train station in Neunkirchen. Instead, we had to tackle a nice climb to start the tour.

May 20, 2024,Neckarsteig #4: Von Neckargerach nach Zwingenberg 🌳🏰🪻🍀☀️

The end of this stage is actually in Neunkirchen. This place is not in the Neckar Valley and does not have good local transport connections. We therefore descended to Zwingenberg a few kilometers before the finish.
This time, this section goes far into the hinterland to Neckarkatzenbach and the Minneburg, which comes into view immediately after the start, is only …

August 5, 2024,Etappe 6: Von Neunkirchen nach Neckargerach – Neckarsteig

This stage is not quite as exciting, as it mainly runs on wide forest paths with few views, especially in the first part. But it is still beautiful. Easily doable for anyone who regularly walks longer distances.
I spend the night at the Grüner Baum, which is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays in the restaurant, including for hotel guests. Then …

April 17, 2023,Neckarsteig - Tag 3 - Neckargerach -> Neunkirchen

It stayed dry today, how nice that was! 😅 Our tour begins by crossing the Neckar and circumnavigating the town of Guttenbach clockwise; an almost meditative experience if it weren't for the many dogs that are out and about early in the morning, some friendly, some less friendly. But it doesn't matter, because at the latest on the gentle ascent …

February 23, 2025,🇩🇪 Neckarsteig Etappe 6: Neunkirchen - Neckargerach

Somehow I thought I had already hiked all the stages of the Neckarsteig. But this week I realized that I was still missing two. So the decision for today was not difficult: closing gaps in the Odenwald 😊

From Neunkirchen we go through beautiful forest to the castle view. Through a gap in the forest you have a clear view …

July 19, 2021,Etappe 6: Von Neckargerach nach Neunkirchen – Neckarsteig

Made the 6 stage today. A bit of a mess, but the original plan was different ...
In theory, I could add the fifth stage. But you want to go on vacation, and the hotels also want their turnover

September 25, 2021,Neckarsteig von Neunkirchen nach Neckargerach

In the first few meters we unfortunately missed the path that was exactly on the bench of our start points test. That's why we didn't go a detour in Neunkirchen. Unfortunately, it was not so clearly visible, just like some other points on the way ... Only we were luckier there.
