Near Hőlderlingturm are the punts of Tűbingen's fraternities. When the weather is fine there are mostly some students using it for earning some money. Yearly you can see a regatta of the fraternities around the Neckar isle. A loud and funny event.

The Glatt Water Castle is located in the village of Glatt, a district of Sulz am Neckar in the valley of the Glatt, district Rottweil, Baden-Württemberg.
It is one of the oldest Renaissance castles in southern Germany and one of the few preserved water castles in the state of Baden-Württemberg. The castle has been municipal property since 1971 and was extensively renovated from 1973 to 1989.
The Neckar is a 362-kilometre-long (225 mi) river in Germany, mainly flowing through the southwestern state of Baden-Württemberg, with a short section through Hesse.
The name Neckar may be derived from Nicarus and Neccarus from Celtic Nikros, meaning wild water or wild fellow. The grammatical gender of the name in German is masculine (der Neckar).
The Neckar is a major right tributary of the Rhine. Rising in the Schwarzwald-Baar-Kreis near Schwenningen in the Schwenninger Moos conservation area at a height of 706 m (2,316 ft) above sea level, it passes through Rottweil, Rottenburg am Neckar, Kilchberg, Tübingen, Wernau, Nürtingen, Plochingen, Esslingen, Stuttgart, Ludwigsburg, Marbach, Heilbronn and Heidelberg, before discharging on average 145 m3/s (5,100 cu ft/s) of water into the Rhine at Mannheim, at 95 m (312 ft) above sea level, making the Neckar its 4th largest tributary, and the 10th largest river in Germany. Since 1968, the Neckar has been navigable for cargo ships via 27 locks for about 200 kilometres (120 mi) upstream from Mannheim to the river port of Plochingen, at the confluence with the Fils.
From Plochingen to Stuttgart, the Neckar valley is densely populated and heavily industrialised, with several well-known companies. Between Stuttgart and Lauffen, the Neckar cuts a scenic, meandering, and in many places steep-sided, valley into fossiliferous Triassic limestones and Pleistocene travertine. Along the Neckar's valley in the Odenwald hills many castles can be found, including Hornberg Castle and Guttenberg Castle [de; lb; ru; uk] in Haßmersheim; the now-mothballed Obrigheim Nuclear Power Plant and the active Neckarwestheim Nuclear Power Plant are also located there.
Traditionally the fertile plains have been intensively used for agriculture and its steep valley sides as vineyards.
This night photograph was taken from the North Bank of Neckar River looking towards the older parts of Heidelberg. It was a wonderful visit to this UNESCO City of Literature. The Neckar River offered mirror-like reflections to the Old Bridge (Alte Brucke), Heidelberg Palace (Schloss) and Bruckentor (which served as gate tower for entrance to the city). The lights in the bridge and palace accentuate these beautiful iconic landmarks in Heidelberg.

Die Regiswindiskirche in Lauffen am Neckar im Landkreis Heilbronn im nördlichen Baden-Württemberg ist eine evangelische Pfarrkirche. Vorgängerbauten gehen bis in das 8. Jahrhundert zurück und waren dem Heiligen Martin geweiht. Ab 1227 entstand ein der Heiligen Regiswindis geweihter Bau, der nach einem Brand 1564 in seine heutige Gestalt umgebaut wurde. Neben der Kirche befindet sich eine alte Friedhofskapelle, in die um 1880 der steinerne Regiswindis-Schrein aus dem 13. Jahrhundert verbracht wurde und die seitdem als Regiswindiskapelle bezeichnet wird.

From 1227 a building dedicated to Saint Regiswindis was built, which was rebuilt in its present form after a fire in 1564. Next to the church is an old cemetery chapel, to which the stone Regiswindis shrine from the 13th century was moved around 1880 and which has since been referred to as the Regiswindis chapel.

Image taken from a hill overlooking Esslingen am Neckar. It's a city in the Stuttgart Region of Baden-Württemberg in southern Germany, seat of the District of Esslingen as well as the largest city in the district. For me, this is the first time I've been able to find a vantage point to capture most of the downtown area.
