Experienced cyclists will find everything they want on the Württemberg vineyard tour route, known in German as the Württemberger Weinradweg.
This 400 km-long route between Niederstetten in the beautiful Taubertal and Rottenburg am Neckar is broken into seven daily sections through Württemberg’s cultural landscape and all its winegrowing regions. Wineries, estates and wine cellars, taverns and vineyards line the route and invite the weary cyclist to stop and rest. The current (slightly modified) route is expected to be fully waymarked in spring 2023. We therefore recommend that cyclists use the current gpx track as a guide.

The Museum of the Teutonic Order is a window onto a spectacular past.
This massive castle with its 75 rooms is a place that visitors to Bad Mergentheim should not fail to discover! For many centuries, the castle was owned by the Teutonic Order, which is now active in the social and charitable spheres. It was founded in 1190 as a hospital order, before subsequently growing to become a chivalric order. Looking back on more than 825 years of growth and change, it is a fascinating part of European history. The castle served as the residence of 18 Grand Masters. The chapter house and the old and new royal residences give a fine impression of its former glory. The staircase created by Blasius Berwart is one of the pinnacles of renaissance architecture and the castle church is a jewel of baroque design. Other rooms bring the history of the town to life and display the core items in the Museum’s collection.
