Cycling

Unusually for Germany, Stuttgart is not really well-adapted to cyclists. First, there are lots of hills. Secondly, Stuttgart’s roads are designed for big fat cars. Although there are a few cycle routes, it’s still tricky getting around, especially when the SLK behind you is getting nervous about not being able to apply all 300 HP.
However there is a nice cycle route starting in the Schloßgarten, continuing toward Bad Canstatt to Rosenheim Park, and then along the Neckar either toward Esslingen and Plöchingen, or in the upriver direction towards Remseck and the Max-Eyth-See, a large lake along the river. It’s a flat route and offers wonderful scenery: vineyards, quaint garden settlements and the Neckar valley.
