Geographically, Kernen is located in the Rems Valley between the Swabian Forest and the vineyards of the region. The location is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, as there are numerous hiking trails leading through the picturesque landscape. But this area also has a lot to offer culturally.

Let's start with the tourist attractions: Stetten Castle is certainly one of the highlights of the region. It was built as early as the 12th century and offers impressive architecture as well as a beautiful park to stroll through.

Another highlight are the vineyards around Kernen im Remstal - they are part of the well-known "Remstalkellerei" wine-growing area and invite you to taste regional wines.

Cultural highlights are also plentiful in this area: The Alte Kelter museum, for example, shows interesting exhibitions on the history of Kernen im Remstal and its surroundings.

You will also get your money's worth here in terms of culinary delights: be sure to try regional specialities such as Maultaschen or Zwiebelrostbraten (roast onion) - best accompanied by a glass of local wine!

If you want to do some sport, you should definitely go hiking or cycling - this is especially nice during the spring and summer months. There are also opportunities for outdoor activities in winter, for example skiing or ice skating.

And what to do when the weather is bad? Why not visit the thermal baths in Beutelsbach - here you can relax and leave everyday life behind you. Or visit one of the many churches in the region, such as the St. Nicholas Church in Kernen im Remstal.

In summary, Kernen im Remstal is a destination that is definitely worth a visit. With its picturesque landscapes, cultural highlights as well as culinary delights, it offers something to suit every taste. Plan your trip with this travel guide and experience unforgettable moments!

    Für uns Eltern war das Highlight die Y-Burg und für die Kinder die Kugelbahnen. Aber auch der Rest des Weges ist gut. Tolle Fernsichten ins untere Remstal oder auch mal einen schmalen Pfad. Am Eichensee haben wir große Fische und Libellen entdeckt. Kurz vor dem alten Friedhof liegt ein toller Spiel- und Grillplatz.

    Schöne Tour, aber das mit den idiotischen Leuchttürmen in den Weinbergen ist so was von Unweltverschandlung und sinnbefreit! Klug wäre es auch wenn die Etappen an Bahnhöfen beginnen und enden. Die S2 fährt wenigstens an Sonn- und Feiertagen im Halbstündigen Takt und nicht stündlich wie manche Busse.

    Sehr schöne Wanderung in einer schönen Landschaft. Wenn man auf kürzerem Weg direkt in die Altstadt Esslingen kommen will, bietet sich alternativ ab Alter Friedhof Stetten auch ein Fahrrad-, bzw. ein Wanderweg an. Wobei der Original Start-/Endpunkt "Jägerhaus eine Supereinkehrmöglichkeit bietet ( und man kann dann mit dem Bus 108 ebenfalls ins Zentrum)
