Tourist cycle routes

The 29 km Metterradweg cycle route between Sternenfels-Diefenbach, the source of the Metter, and Bietigheim-Bissingen an der Enz takes you past sun-drenched vineyards, orchards rich in varieties, picturesque brook landscapes and pleasantly shady forests. Hillside sofas and benches along the way invite you to linger and enjoy the magnificent views. The villages and towns with their half-timbered buildings and historic town centers along the cycle route make the region a unique culinary and cultural experience.

Tip: In combination with the almost 64 km long Kraich Cycle Path, you can cycle from the Rhine to the Enz. Each cycle route is an experience in itself. In combination, both become a (multi-day) highlight.

The cycle map for the Kraich and Metter cycle paths is available from the Citizens' Information Office in Ludwigsburg District Hall, from the towns and municipalities involved, from Kraichgau-Stromberg Tourismus e.V. and on request from the tourist office.
