Stromberg-Murrtal-Radweg

The Stromberg-Murrtal cycle path runs from the Upper Rhine Plain through the Pfinztal, the Stromberg region, the Enztal and further along the Murr to Gaildorf.

The streets run like the rays of the sun towards the castle and its tower: this is why Karlsruhe is nicknamed the fan-shaped city. The castle is not the only thing worth visiting here: The city in Baden is home to unique museums.Once cyclists have left the hustle and bustle behind them, there are many kilometers of tranquil rural routes ahead of them. They lead through the meadows of the Pfinztal valley, along rivers and vineyards and through the forests of the Stromberg-Heuchelberg Nature Park and the Swabian-Franconian Forest Nature Park.

An impressive highlight of the tour is the Cistercian monastery in Maulbronn, a place where you can vividly imagine how the monks lived in the Middle Ages. Nobody should cycle past Schiller's birthplace Marbach without at least taking a look at his birthplace and the Museum of Modern Literature with its unusual and award-winning architecture. The special charm of this cycle route, however, lies in the many half-timbered towns and wine villages, where you can stop for an ice cream, a coffee or a glass of wine from the local vineyard.
