This is an ideal hiking trail between Ettlingen and Herrenalb. The Alb River accompanies you on your left. Pure scenic enjoyment. Due to its proximity to the Alb Valley Railway line, shorter sections of the trail are also easily accessible. For refreshments, the Kochmühle in Neurod and the König von Preußen restaurant in Frauenalb are recommended. Both also offer access to the Alb Valley Railway.

The spa park in the heart of the city is characterized by its historic trees and spacious green spaces, making it a place to recharge your batteries. Its design offers two atmospheres: a "classic" one with cultivated park meadows, and a "wildly romantic" one with blooming riverside and forest meadows. The two sections are connected by bridges over the renaturalized Alb River.
