Rottweil–Horb am Neckar Cycle Route

A scenic point-to-point link on Baden‑Württemberg’s RadNETZ, connecting historic Rottweil with the timber‑framed old town of Horb am Neckar. Expect a relaxed mix of quiet roads, farm tracks, and forest paths with plenty of river and valley views.

Terrain is rolling with roughly 500 m of climbing and a touch more descending, so you’ll get some gentle ups and downs without anything too extreme. Surfaces are a blend of paved and unpaved, including gravel and woodland tracks—perfect for a touring or gravel bike (think 32–40 mm tires). Traffic is mostly low, with only short stretches on regular roads.

Highlights: Rottweil (the oldest town in Baden‑Württemberg), green Neckar valley sections, sleepy villages, and a nice finish in Horb’s old town. Handy tip: both towns have train connections, making out‑and‑back or one‑way rides easy. Pack lights for shaded forest bits and be ready for soft gravel after rain.
