The town of four castles at the gateway to the romantic Neckar Valley – about 1.5 hours by boat from Heidelberg.
Neckarsteinach lives up to its nickname: four medieval castles line the hills above the river and shape the little town's skyline. From the water you see them from their best side as the boat glides gently through the narrow, wooded valley. In Neckarsteinach itself, lanes, cafés and hiking trails up to the castles invite you to linger before a relaxed return trip to Heidelberg.
What awaits you
