The tour is designed for newcomers to quickly find their rhythm and enjoy the water experience.

Between Neckar Mile, Island Tip, and Wilhelms Canal
The route passes the Neckar Mile, the Island Tip, and through the historic hand lock in the Wilhelms Canal. The Wilhelms Canal was opened in 1821 to make the Neckar navigable again; the historic hand lock is considered the oldest functioning manually operated lock on the Neckar. Thus, on this tour, vibrant present meets tangible Neckar history. ([heilbronn.de](https://www.heilbronn.de/tourismus/kultur/sehenswertes/wilhelmskanal.html?utm_source=openai))
Neckarbogen, BUGA Grounds, and Urban Development
Particularly attractive is the view of the new urban district Neckarbogen and the grounds of the former Federal Garden Exhibition. Here it becomes visible how Heilbronn is evolving: high-quality waterfront spaces, modern urban planning, and an urban environment that connects the past and the future.
