View of the Gäubahn Railway from the bridge

Bridge overlooking the Gäubahn, the line from Stuttgart via Singen (Hohentwiel) to the Swiss border. Occasionally, a few trains still pass here.

Heslacher Waterfalls

Highlight • Waterfall

Of course, it's not the Niagara Falls and of course, their origin is not, but it's worth it to put up with the little detour. Firstly, the trail is beautiful and secondly, the small Wasserfällchen are pretty to look at. Incidentally, they were formed when the spring water of the upper Glems was diverted and collected in the park lakes. From there, the water is drained off and splashes happily down the Nesenbachtal following the natural gradient.

Christophstollen Inlet Shaft

Highlight • Monument

The butcher's house was built in 1930. From 1933 onwards, the water from the Pfaffensee was channeled through the butcher's house and made drinking water in the Gallenklinge waterworks. In 1998 the water treatment from the Pfaffensee was stopped. The park lakes have been used for emergency water supply ever since.

East Shore of Pfaffensee

Highlight • Lake

Totally nice for walking and jogging - it's best to come early in the morning when it's not that crowded.

Weinbergstaffel Steps and View of Stuttgart

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Quite a long staircase, but especially in the upper area it offers wonderful views towards Stuttgart-Möhringen and, if the weather is good, all the way to the Albtrauf.
