Discover the region

Situated on a hill between the Lauter River and the Erms Valley, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the countryside from here. With its idyllic half-timbered houses and narrow streets, Kohlberg has retained the charm of a typical Swabian village.

Most relevant to tourism are the historic St. Ulrich's Church and the impressive Filseck Castle with its museum of art and cultural history. Hiking enthusiasts also get their money's worth here: the surrounding area offers countless opportunities for hiking or mountain biking.

Cultural highlights can also be found in abundance: the annual autumn festival is a special highlight for all locals as well as tourists. There you can sample regional delicacies and experience musical acts. For theatre lovers, the Lindenhof Theatre in Melchingen is recommended - only 15 minutes away from Kohlberg.

The culinary specialities range from hearty dishes such as Maultaschen to sweet treats such as Apfelküchle or Spätzle mit Soß'. There is a lot of emphasis on traditional cuisine in the region - enjoy it!

Outdoor activities are also on offer: In summer you can swim or go boating at the nearby bathing lake in Dettingen. In winter, a ride on the toboggan on the surrounding hills is recommended.

Should the weather not cooperate, there are numerous possibilities for indoor activities: The Beuren thermal baths are only 20 minutes away and offer pure relaxation. A visit to nearby Stuttgart is also worthwhile - here you will find museums, theatres and much more.

Kohlberg, Esslingen district is worth a trip at any time of year! Experience the beauty of the Swabian Alb and let yourself be enchanted by the hospitality of the locals. This travel guide will help you plan your stay optimally.

    Sehr schöne, abwechslungsreiche Wanderung! Aussicht am Jusi, dann durch schönen lichten Laubwald, einen schmalen Waldpfad, am Ende ein aussichtsreicher Höhenweg durch Streuobstwiesen. Sicher auch im Winter toll, wenn man quasi dann durgängig Aussicht hat.

    Eine abwechslungsreiche Wanderung mit vielen Ausblicken und in gefühlt stetigem bergauf- und -ab. Für heiße Tage würden wir sie nicht empfehlen, da doch etliche Teile über offene Flächen/Obstwiesen verlaufen.

    Sehr schöne Tour, tolle Aussicht, leider etwas kurz. Alternativ bin ich dann ab Dettingen Lehen hoch zum Jusi und ab Florian zum Bahnhof Metzingen. Dann kommt man auf 14km.

    Prima Wegführung; perfekt beschildert. Wieso das hier jedoch eine "Kurzvariante" sein soll erschließt sich mir nicht. Ist die längste Variante!

    Kombination diverser Gustav-Strömfeldwege. Sehr gelungen. Mit eigener sehr guten Beschilderung in beide Richtungen. Bin in Dettingen gestartet. Sowohl das Gasthaus Kappis als auch das Falkenberghaus waren geöffnet und luden ein.

    Schöne Ausblicke, super rutschig rund um den Jusi. Selbst mit Wanderschuhen lieber nur bei extremer Trockenheit zu empfehlen. Es hätte sich auch gelohnt einen Tag auszuwählen, an dem man in das griechische Restaurant am Sportlerheim hätte einkehren können. Vielleicht wären die Ausrutscher beim Auf- und Abstieg leichter zu vergessen gewesen.

    Überwiegend Pfade und schmale Wege, kann bei Nässe rutschig sein. Auf dem Rückweg haben wir die Hauptstraßen eher gemieden. Ein kleiner Abstecher zum relativ neuen Turm am Heidengraben ist möglich, lohnt sich aber leider kaum.
