Heidelbderg - Karlsruhe - Mannheim - Neckar - Oberrhein - Odenwald This area was first mentioned in the early Middle Ages as Creichgowe. The name probably derives from the Celtic word "Creuch" for clay and mud. The Kraichgau borders on the Odenwald, on the hilly landscapes of Stromberg and Heuchelberg, on the Black Forest and on the Rhine plain. The Kraichgau was settled very early on, which is proven by the finding of "Homo heidelbergensis". But the Romans in particular left behind numerous traces of their settlements. The two most important bodies of water are the Kraichbach and the Elsenz. Mainly grain, vegetables and wine, but also tobacco, are grown on the loess soils of the “granary of southern Germany”. In addition to the larger cities such as Mannheim or Heidelberg, small original villages and half-timbered towns await you. Whether you are exploring the wonderful forests of the Odenwald on various circular tours, following the river valleys on the Rhine or Neckar Valley cycle path or climbing the vineyards in the Kraichgau, this map is always a faithful companion.
