Schönbuch Tower

Highlight • Monument

Despite Corona, this extraordinary observation tower is open for inspection. A staircase leads up and down through the shape of a double helix, which are then signposted for one-way traffic. With the car park just 400 meters away, the tower is very popular.

Kalter Bronnen Spring

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Kalter Bronnen is part of the nature reserve. It could have been restored rather than simply fenced in and left to its fate. This way, it won't be a highlight.

Highlight (Segment) • Natural

A nature-oriented hiking trail runs more or less directly along the Krebsbach stream. Several smaller trails lead directly to the stream and offer beautiful views of the small, meandering stream.

Naturfreundehaus at Schönbuch

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Hut with a very large parking lot and a nice outdoor area for sitting and a great lounge. There is a large playground in the immediate vicinity and the Schönbucher Tower is only a short walk away.

Start and finish at the sports field in Rohrau / Gärtringen Hofstattstraße 110. The trail can be hiked in both directions.
