Zimmer rejects cycle path construction: dispute over school transport broke out!

A planned bike path between Rottweil and rooms Under the castle is in front of that! The city of Rottweil asked the municipality of Zimmer to build a bike path from the Neukirch district of Vaihinger Hof to the district border, but the answer came promptly: a clear no! The municipal council of Zimmer has decided not to agree due to the tense budget situation. Only 6000 to 7000 euros would have been necessary to close the gap, but the money does not seem to be available.

The decision raises questions! Rumors state that the rejection is related to a long -term argument between Rottweil and rooms about school transport. The Rottweiler Stadtbus does not drive the district road, which means a detour for students from rooms. However, Mayor Walter Sieber from Zimmer emphasizes that there is no connection between the cycle path construction and student transport. Nevertheless, the fact that voices from rooms are demanding a connection between the Neckar Valley cycle path and the Danube cycle path through this gap, while the connection from rooms to Schömberg would still lack many kilometers.

Tourist considerations

The Rottweiler District Office spokeswoman Andrea Schmider explains that the decision on cycle path construction is ultimately with the municipalities, even if funding is available. However, it sees no sense in a gap in the gap at this point, especially from a tourist perspective. The Neckar Valley cycle path runs over several stations and the Danube cycle path also has its own route. A connection via rooms under the castle seems hardly representable and not very useful, since there are already other touristy connections.

For cyclists who are looking for new routes, this could be a bitter disappointment. The main connection axes and cycle paths in Baden-Württemberg are clearly defined, and the connection between rooms and Neukirch cannot be found in the BW bike network. The hope of closing a gap between the two counties could quickly disappear, while the cyclists are still looking for better connections.
