Remseck am Neckar Germany Baden-Wurttemberg
Frequently Asked Questions
On the riverbank, within walking distance of the old quarters and the confluence. From the gangway, towpaths run in both directions.
In Baden-Württemberg, in the green outskirts of Stuttgart, where the Rems merges into the Neckar. The municipality unites several Swabian villages, and it owes its name to that confluence.
The confluence loop with the wooden footbridge and the Neckarstrand takes about an hour. Excursions then head for Ludwigsburg or Stuttgart, depending on the onboard programme.
A landscaped pebble and sand beach on the river below the footbridge. Families come in fine weather to watch the barges pass while herons fish at the mouth of the Rems.
An elegant modern footbridge with a strikingly bold self-supporting span, crossing the river and linking the riverside quarters at the confluence.
Each quarter keeps its village core: quiet lanes, old farms, inns serving wine from the nearby slopes. At Aldingen, a volunteer radio museum lines up sets from 1924 to the present, and a heritage room evokes former farming life.
No, and that is worth saying plainly. Nothing monumental here, but a sincere glimpse of Swabian daily life, where you meet more residents than visitors. The grand settings are at Ludwigsburg, by excursion.
A monument raised in the nineteenth century by King William I for his wife Catherine, on a hill overlooking the valley upstream, on the site of his dynasty ancestral castle.
Autumn. Most ships stop here in the harvest season, when the slopes turn golden and pickers work the hillsides. The show is best savoured from the deck with a blanket over your shoulders.
Yes. The valley cycle path passes the call and the towpaths are well used. Bicycles are sometimes available on board; otherwise a good pair of shoes will do.
