Selected alternatives for you

    The Rössleweg runs once "around the Kessel" of Stuttgart.

    With its distance of about 54 km and 1200 meters of elevation gain, along with numerous exit options, it is an ideal training route for ultramarathon runners.

    The route described here includes the absolute original course including the ascent to Birkenkopf (Scherbelino) and the Württemberg (Grabkapelle).

    The Stuttgart circular hiking trail, also called Rössleweg, leads once around Stuttgart, mostly on the heights, occasionally (unavoidably) into the valleys, e.g., at the Neckar crossings near Max-Eyth-See and between Obertürkheim and Hedelfingen.

    Author’s recommendation

    The S1 stop in Obertürkheim offers a good entry point to the Rössleweg. However, since the route crosses many public transport lines, other locations are also suitable for entering or exiting.

    Roadbook

    The Rössleweg can be walked in both directions and is marked for both directions. In principle, the route is also suitable for cyclists, only some stairs must be bypassed.

    (For the RunMob, the round is run clockwise)

    The signage is inconsistent, sometimes well marked every few meters, but at some important points signage is missing.

    Author’s map recommendations

    I recommend the track available here for download for orientation. If you prefer to rely on maps, a good map with many tips and important points is available at the Tourist Information in Stuttgart.

    Equipment

    Since the Rössleweg generally has no major difficulties, it can easily be completed in light footwear. In the winter months, I recommend trail shoes for runners.

    On weekends during the summer months, there may be service at the Burgholzhofturm; otherwise, there is hardly any gastronomy directly on the route. Some fountains may provide opportunities to refill water. However, you should be prepared to complete the Rössleweg independently.
