Start at the Nature 🍄‍🟫 Freundehaus parking lot, climb up to the Schönbuch 🗼 for sunrise, and return to Herrenberg via the Schloss 🏰 mountain. On the way back, follow the Animal Adventure Trail.

If you ignore the traffic noise 🏍️🚙🛻🚐🚚🚗 of the A81 and surrounding roads, it's a beautiful tour 😉😅😉

Nice little Sunday walk, suitable for families, not too difficult. Possibilities to stop off at the Naturfreundehaus (Schönbuchturm) and at the Schlossberg in Herrenberg (beer garden with a view).

The Schönbuchturm is currently open from sunrise to sunset.
