Walking the Neckarsteig

We walked part of the Neckarsteig a walk above the Neckar Valley between Heidelberg and Bad Wimpfen (124km, 76 miles) recently and were much impressed. The route switches valley sides and so the total height difference over the week or so is about 5000m (16000'). There are organised self-guided trips with pre-booked rooms with luggage transfer available from:

• TS Touristik Service e.K., 63840 Hausen im Spessart, Germany, T: +49(0)6022 2654744, www.ts-touristikservice.de for €549 pp in a double room for 7 nights.
