White House Where Goethe enjoyed himself: the Weiße Häusel in Ettlingen. © Albrecht RitterPhoto: Albrecht Ritter, Rother Bergverlag
With impressive views over Ettlingen, the Albtal valley and the Rhine plain, we hike along the panoramic trail below Ettlingen's local mountain up to the radio tower near Grünwettersbach. We return along the popular mule track on the edge of the Rhine valley, with great views.
From the terminus of the S-Bahn in Ettlingen-Albgaubad, we walk across the parking lot in front of it to Schöllbronner Straße, turn left and immediately turn right into Luisenstraße. Passing the swimming pool, we cross the Alb and turn left next to the magnificent Hotel Watthalden building into the park of the same name. Passing gigantic sequoia trees, we leave the park at the upper, diagonally opposite end. Keeping to the right, we climb the steps and follow the yellow diamond. At the old water reservoir, we walk a few meters to the left and turn right before the baroque wayside shrine onto the paved panoramic path over the Robberg. Sandstone dry stone walls line the path between the former vineyard terraces. We enjoy the wonderful views over the town and the Rhine plain.

Albrecht Ritter
Albrecht Ritter, geboren und aufgewachsen zwischen Schwäbischer Alb und Bodensee, lebt heute an der badischen Bergstraße. Seine Leidenschaft für die Landschaft, ihre Vielfalt und Zusammenhänge mündete in ein Studium der Geographie. Erst spät entdeckte er die Wanderleidenschaft, pilgerte auf diversen europäischen Jakobswegen und verfasste einen Wanderführer über den südfranzösischen Pilgerweg Via Tolosana. Danach gänzlich dem Wandern verfallen, schrieb er Wanderbücher über seine jetzige Heimat und ihre nähere Umgebung. Sein liebstes Wanderrevier liegt direkt vor der Haustüre an Neckar, Bergstraße, Odenwald und Pfälzerwald. Aber auch auf Wanderpfaden in den Bergen Umbriens, der Toskana und in den Französischen Cevennen, wenn möglich abseits der Touristenströme, blüht sein Herz auf.
