East Shore of Pfaffensee

Highlight • Lake

Totally nice for walking and jogging - it's best to come early in the morning when it's not that crowded.

The Neuer See is the centrally located park lake between the Bärensee and the Pfaffensee. On the north bank, a beautiful hiking trail runs directly along the lake shore with ever-changing views of the lake.

In addition to water birds, turtles can also be observed here. They like to sun themselves on the tree trunks in the water.

Bridge between Neuer See and Pfaffensee

Highlight • Viewpoint

The park lakes Stuttgart (Bear Lake, Lake New and Pfaffensee) and the Bärenschlössle are a popular destination of the Stuttgart. Consideration is therefore a matter of course, especially in the summer. In winter, however, you will find it much easier to rest and enjoy the beauty of the winter landscape alone.

October 23, 2022,Bärensee – Pfaffensee Runde von Büsnau

A very nice, easy hiking route around the three lakes. Pfaffensee, Neuer See and the Bärensee with the possibility to stop off at the Bärenschlössle. There are three artificial lakes. The Pfaffensee was created in 1566 and the other two followed later.

Completely overcrowded route. If you have a lot of company while you go for a walk, this is the right place for you.

Wonderful vacation day with my girlfriend at the Bear Lake in Stuttgart.
We both made our cameras glow and had a lot of fun with them. The delicious picnic with muffins and a view of the Bärenschlössle was also very nice and relaxing.
And we even saw a muskrat swimming in the water….,
