Kaltental cycles #42: Art on the Filder
recommended route Difficulty moderate
Distance 31.6 km
Duration 2:45 h
Ascent 250 m
Descent 250 m

Art in public spaces often sparks discussion. It is not always recognizable as art at first glance. And it doesn't have to be liked.

Discover the region

Geographical location and special features Ostfildern is located about 15 kilometres southeast of Stuttgart and belongs to the federal state of Baden-Württemberg. The town consists of five districts: Kemnat, Nellingen, Ruit, Scharnhausen and Parksiedlung. Each of these districts has its own charm with historic buildings and a rich cultural history.

Tourist-relevant sights. One of the most famous sights in Ostfildern is Nellingen Castle. This beautiful baroque castle was built in the 18th century and today houses an art and cultural foundation as well as a restaurant serving regional cuisine. Another highlight is the Old Town Hall in Ruit - a magnificent half-timbered house from the 16th century.

Cultural Highlights & Events For those interested in culture, there are many events such as concerts or theatre performances on various stages in the town as well as exhibitions in the museum "Stadtmuseum im Spital". The annual wine festival in September also attracts many visitors.

Culinary specialities. When it comes to culinary delights, Ostfildern offers a variety of restaurants serving regional and international cuisine. Be sure to try the traditional dish "Maultaschen" or enjoy a glass of wine from the region.

Outdoor activities. Ostfildern also offers many opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling or golfing. It is especially beautiful in spring when the orchards are in full bloom or in autumn during the grape harvest season. The nearby Schönbuch Nature Park is ideal for hiking and strolling.

Rainless days in Ostfildern. Even when the weather is bad, there is plenty to do in Ostfildern: The town museum in the hospital offers interesting insights into the town's history. Alternatively, you can spend the day relaxing with a good book and a cup of coffee in a cosy café.

Consummation Overall, Ostfildern is definitely worth a visit - whether you are culturally interested, a nature lover or a culinary fan. With this travel guide, we hope we have given you some tips to get the most out of your stay!

    Schöne einfache Runde. Kann man auch bei Sauwetter machen. Wenn es im Frühjahr blüht sicher am schönsten. Den vierten Stern 🌟 gibt's für die vielen Erklärungen und die große Mühe beim Obstlehrpfad. Danke an Herrn Ostertag für das schöne Bild aus leider längst vergangener Straßenbahn 🚊 Zeit in Scharnhausen.

    netter Spaziergang. Mögliche Abkürzung durch Start an der Garbe in Plieningen, dadurch startet man direkt an dem Hohenheimer Park

    Schöne Tour. Nicht nur der botanische Garten in Hohenheim, auch der Eichenhain unterhalb Sillenbuch sind sehr schön. Tip: Wer von Ruit nicht entlang der Strasse ins Körschtal hinunter laufen will, geht gleich oben nach dem man nach rechts abbiegt gleich wieder leicht rechts auf dem Feldweg.

    Hallo Benjamin, wir haben uns kurz auf dem Rückweg vom VP 1 kennengelernt und haben ein wenig miteinander sprechen können! Ich war mir ja nicht sicher, ob ich die 100 km schaffe und gesagt, dass mein Ziel 80 km wären. Naja, du hast mich ja dann berichtigt, dass mein Ziel die 100 km sind und nichts anderes ..... Danke an dieser Stelle für deine motivierenden Worte und die Tipps, die du mir Megamarsch-Anfänger bei meinem ersten Mal mitgegeben hast. Ich habe mich dann auf meine 100 km konzentriert und es - wenn auch erst nach 24,5 Stunden - ins Ziel geschafft. Mach so weiter, du bist echt eine Bereicherung unter den Teilnehmern und deine Beiträge hier geben auch viel Inspiration! Viele Grüße, Christoph

    Schöne Tour, die Höhenmeter sind allerdings nicht zu verachten ;-) Teilweise sind die Steigungen echt heftig.

    Überaus abwechslungsreiche Tour, die alles verbindet was Biken in Stuttgart ausmacht. Als Einkehr bietet sich auch der Biergarten Friedrichsruh an.

    „Kaltental radelt“ macht tolle Tourenvorschläge, für mich als „Kaltentaler“ perfekt, weil alle Touren quasi fast vor meiner Haustür starten. Danke und weiter so!

    Schön abwechslungsreiche Tour um die Felder auf den Fildern und einige Ortsteile von Filderstadt kennen zu lernen. Karte oder Navigation sehr hilfreich, da Schilder nicht überall vorhanden sind. Wege durch Landwirtschaft, oft mit Ackerboden „ beschmutzt „ ist nun mal so beim regen Ackerbau 😉 da einige Ortsteile durchquert werden, nicht immer verkehrsarm! Bänke mit schönen Ausblicken, zum rasten immer wieder vorhanden.
