B as in bouldering, M as in motor racing, W as in water-skiing: The range of sporting opportunities and disciplines in the Rhine-Neckar region is vast. But let’s be honest: Have you ever played soccergolf or been on a trail running tour with an expert? There are more than 2,700 clubs here, including a couple of first-league teams such as the Adler Mannheim ice hockey players and the Rhein-Neckar Löwen and TSG Friesenheim handball players. We take you to hiking trails, boules grounds and to the Mannheim SAP Arena. We show you where to best explore the region with a bicycle on Regionalpark routes. And sometimes, we tell sports stories that happen in fairy-tales: Like the one about a businessman, who gave the club in his hometown a stadium as a present—the one of the TSG 1899 Hoffenheim in Sinsheim.
