View from Karlshöhe

Highlight • Viewpoint

The direct route to the highest elevation of the Karlshöhe goes from the south of Stuttgart via the Willy-Reichert-Staffel. Halfway up you can also leave the relay and go up over the park.

View of Stuttgart from Blauer Weg

Highlight • Viewpoint

If you want to climb the edge of the boiler from the west of Stuttgart - whether on foot or by bike - you can make some of the “work” easier. The blue path is not only a must-see for all ages, it also takes the steep part of the climb. Once you have reached the path to "1/3 Hasenbergsteige" (nomen est omen!), You can comfortably reach it up to the Birkenkopf via the forest paths that extend it. And with that to all destinations west of Stuttgart.

View of Heslach from the Blauer Weg

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Blue Trail offers wonderful views of Heslach and the Stuttgart basin. It is easy to walk and there is no car traffic (if any, then only from local residents).

Stuttgart Rack Railway (Zahnradbahn) – Haigst stop

Highlight • Structure

The "spike" of the SSB does not drive with an adhesion drive, but with a low-lying rack. This is a specialty of a tram. The route is 2.2 km long and the maximum gradient is 200 per mille. The spike is a Stuttgart landmark.

Today we did the long-planned blue-rumped bird trail. We took public transport to Stuttgart and Marienplatz to start from there. Unfortunately, the marking only begins at the Haigst stop. Pedestrians there, on the old Weinsteige, are probably not common. In the middle of the tour the 🌞 showed up. A nice, promising tour in and around Stuttgart. We finished with …

If you want to make the climb to Santiago de Chile Platz a little easier on this tour, you can take the historic Zacke from Marienplatz to the Haigst stop. This is opposite Santiago de Chile, from which you have a beautiful view over Stuttgart. Behind the Haigst stop, after about 600 meters, you can stop at Michels Gauder Besen, …

Today there is time for a short hike on the Blaustrümpflerweg in Stuttgart.

It starts at Marienplatz, but there with a lot of horsepower in the direction of Degerloch: With the "Zacke", a rack railway, the first stage is overcome, then it goes on with muscle power - on the Blaustrümpflerweg, which leads over the Dornhaldenfriedhof and the Waldfriedhof in …

Today we're back on the Blaustrümpflerweg (Blue Strümpfler Trail). From Marienplatz up to Karlshöhe (restaurants open in summer), Hasenbergsteige, Blauer Weg (Blue Trail), down to Südheimer Platz, up to the Waldfriedhof cemetery, past the Dornhalden cemetery through the forest to Haigst, and from there back down to Marienplatz on the cog railway. The hiking route is about 7.5 km long. …

We covered a small part of the route by cog railway or cable car. You can also go back to Marienplatz from Karlshöhe, then the round is complete. On this lap you have a lot of great views of Stuttgart. Is also very nice in spring.

The day before yesterday I walked the route in the opposite direction. I always find it interesting to see how people perceive the routes differently. Today I started from the Schwabstraße S-Bahn station and not from Marienplatz.
