St. Afra's Church stands on a slight rise in the center of Neckargerach and is recognizable from afar by its striking, light-colored tower. The building appears simple, yet inviting.

Coming from Katzenbuckel, the route is initially car-free for several kilometers. Scenically attractive, and despite some damage to the surface, it's still suitable for road bikes, even downhill.

The Guttenbach Lock is an interesting point on the hike. It provides boat traffic on the Neckar and offers beautiful views of the river. The area around the lock is quiet and idyllic—ideal for a short break to marvel at the lock's technology and enjoy nature.
