September 7, 2025, View of Neckargemünd from the Pedestrian and Cyclist Bridge

The railway bridge in Neckargemünd is a special structure with two levels: Deutsche Bahn trains run on the top 🚆, while a safe footpath and cycle path runs below 🚶‍♀️🚴 – ideal for hikers and day-trippers along the Neckarsteig trail.

A beautiful hike with views of the four Neckarsteinach castles: Schwalbennest, Hinterburg, Mittelburg, and Vorderburg. Afterwards, we continued to the former Hundheim Castle, of which, unfortunately, only a few scattered stones remain.

Former fort house with an even former chapel. The associated spring was already known as a place of worship in Celtic times.
