Discover Neckarsulm: Two-wheeled history and wine trails

Neckarsulm combines fascinating insights into the history of two-wheeled vehicles and the Audi brand with city tours and a cultural landscape shaped by winegrowing. As you explore the city and its surroundings, you can choose from exhibitions, historical walks and trails on the Scheuerberg.

Two-wheelers, Audi and the history of the city

The German Two-Wheeler and NSU Museum in Neckarsulm has a municipal collection featuring well over 1,000 exhibits and a large stock of spare parts. The permanent exhibition represents 140 German and international motorcycle brands and 130 bicycle manufacturers. These figures give the exhibition an unusually broad scope for the history of motorcycles and bicycles. If you are interested in the Audi brand, the Audi Forum Neckarsulm offers a different perspective on the history of technology: Located at Audi AG’s production site in Neckarsulm, Baden-Württemberg, the Forum presents the brand’s history through varied exhibitions. The exhibition program may change.

Guided city walks take you through the city center, offer insights into local history and last about 90 minutes. Public historical city tours for individuals and day visitors are scheduled for the first Sunday of each month; specific times may vary by season. If you plan to join one of these tours, check the times before your visit.

Winegrowing culture on the Scheuerberg

The August Herold Trail starts at the Scheuerberg hiking parking lot near AQUAtoll. From parking lot P2, follow the signs to the trail; you can also explore a signposted wine trail there. Hiking the August Herold Trail on the Scheuerberg lets you experience Neckarsulm’s cultural landscape shaped by winegrowing and learn interesting facts about viticulture and the hill. This makes it easy to distinguish the focus of each outing: the city’s history takes center stage on a walk through the city center, while winegrowing and the landscape define the trail on the Scheuerberg.

Numerous wine taverns in Neckarsulm offer wine lovers places to round off an outing or take a break on a tour around the city. Individual establishments and opening periods may change; check them before making a stop part of your plans. Guided Segway tours explore Neckarsulm and the vineyard landscape around the city. If these tours fit your plans, check their availability before your trip.
