Birkenkopf information board

Highlight • Monument

As in many other cities, the rubble in Stuttgart had to be removed from the city after the war. In Stuttgart, much of the rubble was deposited on the Birkenkopf, a natural hill in the west of the city. The locals therefore also call the Birkenkopf 'Monte Scherbelino'. This information stone can be found at the foot of the Birkenkopf.

Heslacher Waterfalls

Highlight • Waterfall

Of course, it's not the Niagara Falls and of course, their origin is not, but it's worth it to put up with the little detour. Firstly, the trail is beautiful and secondly, the small Wasserfällchen are pretty to look at. Incidentally, they were formed when the spring water of the upper Glems was diverted and collected in the park lakes. From there, the water is drained off and splashes happily down the Nesenbachtal following the natural gradient.

Beautiful Wegle along the Bächles on the lower side of the railway line. At the end, on the other side, the breathtaking Heslacher waterfalls await you.

Sophienbrunnen

Highlight • Monument

The Sophie Fountain stands at the end of Hasenbergsteige. It was erected in 1839 to commemorate the wedding of Princess Sophie to William III of the Netherlands (King of the Netherlands from 1849) (renovated in 1999). Princess Sophie was the daughter of King William I and his wife, Catherine, daughter of the Russian Tsar.

Aside from its historical significance, it is a drinking water fountain.
