I sometimes forget hat Stuttgart is a city with a river. As the Neckar does not run through the center, it was out of my view most of the time. As Moritz and I have moved from the south of Stuttgart to the north lately, that has changed. During the last few weeks, I have discovered a whole new face of Stuttgart. Today, we seized the day and the perfect weather for a bike trip along the Neckar to Marbach.

A bike trip along the Neckar to Marbach

We started our Bike trip along the Neckar to Marbach at Max-Eyth-See.

There is a bike path next to the Neckar which we followed all the time. It is very well maintained, flat and thus easy to drive on. After 12 km we stopped at Zugwiesen, close to Ludwigsburg. This is a renaturation project next to the Neckar and a lovely place for a break or picnic.

After around 1.5 hours our bike trip along the Neckar brought us to Marbach

Right next to the bridge is a lovely beer garden, the Bootshaus Marbach. That’s where we had lunch Smiley

We turned around and cycled back to Max-Eyth-See.

What a lovely tour! Easy, with beautiful scenery and along a river. One of my new favorite weekend trips.
