Great cycle path, along the Glatt. Unfortunately, you have to ride a section on the road.

In the Glattal on the cycle path to the Neckartal cycle path. It's very good for cycling, even though there was a really strong headwind today. So, pedal away.

The bridge was renovated a few years ago. It is now well-suited for cyclists and families with strollers or trailers. Cycling on the old bridge was always a bit of an adventure.
