Why go

The local name Kessel, meaning cauldron, describes the basin that shapes Stuttgart. A ride towards its surrounding hills involves a different kind of effort from a valley outing. The Neckar Valley and Schönbuch, south of the city, are distinct alternatives to cycling between inner-city sights.

Useful to know
