German Half-Timbered Road: Bietigheim-Bissingen – Schorndorf

The starting point of the stage is the old Enz bridge in the Bietigheim Bürgergarten. From here, it goes east through the Bietigheim forest to Ingersheim. Here, we again meet the Neckar, which we follow upstream to the Schiller town of Marbach. From Marbach, we cycle along the Murr river eastward. The bike path winds along the Murr through numerous idyllic small towns until reaching Backnang, the Murr metropolis, with its many half-timbered houses. Here, the view extends from the newly designed Bleichwiese to the castle hill, 30 meters higher, the original site of Backnang. Today, it is regarded as the cultural center of the town with diverse art exhibitions and a regionally well-known cultural program in the Backnang community center. It continues southeast through small valleys and beautiful, occasionally challenging hilly landscapes for cyclists between Heutensbach and Rudersberg until finally reaching the stage destination in Schorndorf along the Wieslauf.
