Neckarsulm between two-wheeled vehicle history and vineyard landscapes
Accommodation in Neckarsulm
Neckarsulm brings together the history of two-wheeled vehicles, the history of the town and a cultural landscape shaped by viticulture. Museums and guided city tours offer a different perspective from an excursion to Scheuerberg or through the vineyards. You can tailor your stay to whether you are mainly interested in exploring exhibitions, learning more about the town or spending time outdoors.

Discover technology and town history
The German Two-Wheeler and NSU Museum Neckarsulm has a municipal collection featuring well over 1,000 exhibits and a large stock of spare parts. The permanent exhibition includes 140 national and international motorcycle brands and 130 bicycle manufacturers. The wide variety of brands and manufacturers makes motorcycles and bicycles equally important themes of a visit to the museum.
The Audi Forum Neckarsulm, at the Audi AG production site in Neckarsulm, Baden-Württemberg, offers another perspective. Its varied exhibitions present the history of the Audi brand. Those interested in technology and brand history can explore different museum themes, from the municipal two-wheeler collection to the history of Audi.
City tours and outdoor discoveries
Guided city tours take you through the town centre and offer insights into Neckarsulm’s history. They last about 90 minutes. Public historical city tours are scheduled for individual visitors and day-trippers on the first Sunday of each month. If you plan to include a tour in your trip, this monthly date is a useful guide.
The August Herold Trail begins at the Scheuerberg hiking car park near AQUAtoll. Signposts lead to the trail from car park P2; you can also explore a signposted wine trail there. Along the August Herold Trail, visitors can experience Neckarsulm’s viticulture-shaped cultural landscape and learn interesting facts about winegrowing and the hill. Guided Segway tours explore Neckarsulm and the vineyards around the town. There are several ways to explore: on foot along a trail focusing on winegrowing, or on a guided Segway tour.
Occupations, wine and regional impressions
At the Neckarsulm Town Museum, primary school children can get a close-up look at the work of firefighters, police officers, emergency medical services and the Federal Agency for Technical Relief (THW). This visit offers a different focus from the technology museums, with an emphasis on specific occupations. It could be a good option for families with primary school children who would also like to include this kind of insight in their stay.
Viticulture is also part of the experience around Neckarsulm. The town’s many traditional wine taverns give wine lovers places to unwind or take a break during an excursion around the town. If you plan to explore the vineyards, you can also consider this local connection to winegrowing as part of your trip beyond the wine trail.
A look at Scheuerburg
Near Neckarsulm lies Scheuerburg, a rectangular spur castle documented since the 13th century. Its main structure, including the keep, measures 80 × 35 metres; the outer bailey measures 62 × 42 metres. It was the largest Staufer castle complex in the area. These details about its sections give the site a tangible sense of scale and offer a historical glimpse of the area around the destination.
When choosing a holiday apartment in Neckarsulm, consider which focus you want your trip to have: exhibitions and town history, or vineyards and outdoor activities. This lets you plan your stay around the experiences that are most interesting to you and your family, without trying to fit every theme into the same day.
