One of the most beautiful hiking tours in Stuttgart leads along the Max Eyth Lake. This idyllic reservoir in the Neckar valley offers a wonderful view of the surrounding panorama with its green meadows and majestic vineyards. The circular path around the lake stretches for about 5 kilometres and is suitable for both experienced hikers and families with children.

Another highlight is the Karlshöhenweg, which leads through the Höhenpark Killesberg. This park has already been voted Germany's most beautiful park several times and delights visitors with its variety of flowerbeds, sculptures and a breathtaking view over the city. The Karlshöhenweg meanders through the park to the "Karlshöhe" viewing platform, from where you can enjoy an incomparable panoramic view of Stuttgart.

For nature lovers, a hike in Rosensteinpark is recommended. Here, in addition to extensive green spaces, you will also find historical buildings such as Rosenstein Castle or the Museum am Löwentor. A walk through this park promises pure relaxation and is an unforgettable experience, especially in spring when the flowers are in bloom and the birds are chirping.

The best seasons for walking in Stuttgart are spring and autumn. During these months, the temperatures are pleasantly mild and nature shows its most beautiful side. In spring, numerous plants and trees blossom, while in autumn the leaves turn colourful.

Although Stuttgart is a large city, there are therefore many opportunities for hiking here. The various hiking trails offer both scenic beauty and cultural highlights. Whether you are travelling with children or just want to take a relaxing walk - everyone will find a suitable route in Stuttgart. So lace up your walking shoes and discover this wonderful city on foot!

    Am Wochenende rund um den See Hochbetrieb, ansonsten nette Runde mit schönen Ausblicken auf Neckar und See. Alles auf befestigten Wegen.

    Ich bin den Weg Sonntag Morgen von Österfeld zum Waldeck gegangen. Kaum Lärm und sooo viel Asphalt wars für eine schöne Tour in einer Großstadt nun auch wieder nicht. Warum allerdings der Heslacher Wasserfall in der Route ausgelassen wird verstehe ich nicht. Den sollte man mitnehmen.

    Die Tour ist wirklich schön, aber es sind mehr als 500 Höhenmeter. Aber es lohnt sich! Nicht Kinder oder Bollerwagen geeignet.

    Die Tour verknüpft wirklich die schönsten Ecken und angenehmen Wege dieses Gebiets. Ich würde beim Kappelberg empfehlen, dass man nicht nur über den Spielplatz am Gipfel geht, sondern vorläuft bis zur Spitze Richtung Fellbach. Das ist ein toller Blick und schöner Platz zum Entspannen. Unterwegs gibt es einige Besenwirtschaften und Gaststätten. Öffnungszeiten der Besen und Wochenkarten liefert www.neckarufer.info

    Schöner gemütlicher und vielseitiger Spaziergang durch Wald und Streuobstwiesen. Wenn man wie auf der Karte verzeichnet im Uhrzeigersinn läuft, kommt kurz vor dem Ende am Kotzenloch ein gutes Stück recht steiler Stufen. Heute bei Regen etwas rutschig, es gibt aber Geländer zum festhalten. Ist vielleicht für manche Wandernde hier gut zu wissen. Danke für die Tour!

    Sehr schöne Tour! Würde allerdings empfehlen, die Tour nur zu machen, wenn alle Wege trocken sind. Wir hatten Glück.

    Sehr schöne Runde zu einigen Esslinger Klassikern! Stand Winter 2025 hat die Katherinenlinde leider keinen Pächter mehr...umso schöner und überraschender war die Einkehr in der TVO Alm!

    Die Tour war interessant. Ich habe auf dem Unigelände viele für mich neue Dinge erfahren, obwohl ich etliche Jahre fast täglich dort auf dem Gelände war.

    Am besten mit dem Bus, Linie 61, von Obertürkheim fahren. Dort gibt es auch Parkplätze.

    Schöne Tour durch Wald und Weinberge. Leider ist die Grabkapelle am Wochenende total überlaufen, der Autoverkehr auf der schmalen Zufahrtsstraße und in Rotenberg nervig bis gefährlich. Wer kann, sollte die Tour besser unter der Woche wandern. Ansonsten hat uns die Runde aber sehr gut gefallen.
