Accommodation in Sulz am Neckar
Signposted circular hiking trails, two named cycling routes, museums and historic sites offer concrete ways to plan your trip. First choose a destination based on your interests, then look for a hotel for your stay.
Hiking in Sulz am Neckar
Sulz am Neckar has a total of 48 signposted circular hiking trails with a combined length of around 345 kilometres. The number and total length may change if the trail network is revised. For your planning, it is therefore a good idea to check the latest route information. The many circular trails make hiking a distinct focus for a trip, giving you a choice of different tours.
One specific hiking destination is Albeck Castle Ruins. The hike there is certified as a Quality Trail, Dream Tour, by the German Hiking Association. The certification status may be renewed or changed; if the award is a deciding factor for you, check its current status. The hike passes through Albeck Nature Reserve and by juniper bushes. The castle ruins lie above the Neckar Valley; the route offers magnificent views of the Neckar Valley and the Swabian Alb.
The Three Valleys Hiking Trail starts at Glatt Water Castle. It passes through the well-kept castle garden and by the mini-golf course. The Hohenzollern Hiking Trail starts at the west gate of Glatt Water Castle. When choosing a route, you can therefore distinguish between the described route through the castle garden and past the mini-golf course, and a start at the west gate. As route details and access conditions may change, it is worth checking the latest route description before setting out.
Cycling routes as a focus for your trip
Sulz am Neckar is located directly on the Neckar Valley Cycle Route and the Heidelberg–Black Forest–Lake Constance Cycle Route. The town is also a good starting point for cycling tours. Cycling is therefore a distinct focus alongside the circular hiking trails: when planning your trip, you can decide whether to focus more on cycling tours or hikes. The two named cycling routes provide a concrete point of reference.
Art, local history and castles
In the centre of Sulz am Neckar, the Bauernfeind Museum displays around 200 works, including 75 originals. Photos, letters and documents there chronicle the life of the artist Gustav Bauernfeind. The museum thus combines an exploration of the collection with a biographical perspective on the artist.
The castle museum at the Glatt Castle Cultural and Museum Centre brings the history of the village and the Lordship of Glatt to life. Glatt Water Castle is one of the best-preserved castle complexes in Baden-Württemberg. In Fischingen, Wehrstein Castle Ruins offer a different historical focus: they are the remains of a former castle dating from the 12th century. The cultural attractions mentioned here therefore vary in form—from a museum covering local and lordship history, to a castle complex, to castle ruins. This can help you decide whether to include museum exhibits, castle history or medieval castle ruins in your trip plans.
