September 30, 2026, Unglücksstätte des Jakob Herdfelder

The monument, also known as Herdfelderstein, is located in the Uhlberg forest area. Jakob Herdfelder was a day laborer and woodcutter from Plattenhardt. According to local church records, he met with a fatal "accident while felling trees" at this spot.

Directly on the meadow at the foot of the Uhlbergturm is a viewing platform built in 2017. A large photo board is mounted there, which serves as an orientation aid. It shows the panorama of the Swabian Jura and describes which mountains and peaks (like the Hohenzollern or the three Kaiserberge) are visible in the distance.

The stone is located below the well-known Uhlbergturm near a garden area on the Mittlerer Wengerterweg. It measures 92 cm in height, 26 cm in width, and 47 cm in depth, and bears the engraved year "1580" as a distinctive inscription.

The "Kelter" hikers' lodge of the Bonlanden local group of the Swabian Alb Association is located on the edge of the Uhlberghalde (approx. 3 km outside Filderstadt-Bonlanden) and is an ideal starting or intermediate point for hikes around the Uhlberg. The historic, former wine press is now run on a voluntary basis.

In Neuenhaus, the hiking trail begins near the Uhlberg restaurant and leads uphill to the Uhlbergturm. On both the right and left sides of the path, you can discover diverse grimaces. Lovingly incorporated into trees and tree stumps, the forest has a fairytale-like and legendary quality. The nature artist of the Fratzenweg, Adalbert Bachofer, displays his art not only along the trail but also in his studio at the beginning of the route.

The Gutenhalde in Filderstadt-Bonlanden is a striking historical manor farm that was built in the 1940s by the Stuttgart food manufacturer Willy Bürkle as a generous country estate and recreational area. What is special about the architecture is that the imposing, now listed farm was built according to the architectural model of Low German hall houses, which is untypical for the Swabian region.

The Filderstadt orchard educational trail (also known by the name of its mascot OLAF – ObstLehrpfad Filderstadt) is an approximately 2.5-kilometer circular route in Filderstadt-Bonlanden. It was jointly established by local orchard guides and the city to playfully and informatively convey the valuable cultural and living space of the native orchards.
