Beautifully situated. On one side, a small footpath runs along the riverbank with frequent access points to the water. On the other side, the Neckar Valley Cycle Path also runs along the riverbank and directly through the restaurant, which offers plenty of seating and an exceptional miniature golf course.

The Beutwangsee The 6-hectare Beutwangsee near Neckarhausen was a quarry pond until 1977, in which you were also allowed to swim until 1996. Due to its low water depth, bathing in the Beutwangsee was forbidden. Today it is a popular local recreation area. The numerous lawns and barbecue areas invite you to sunbathe and relax. You can also use the tennis or golf course. A kiosk with a beer garden provides drinks, coffee, cake and snacks for your physical well-being.

Great hiking, running and cycling area with countless narrow and normal gravel paths. Not all of them lead to the goal, some are dead ends. Beautiful in every season!
