Japanese Garden Bietigheim

Highlight • Structure

The Japanese Garden commemorates the Bietigheim-born physician Dr. Erwin Bälz (1949-1913). He was the personal physician of the Japanese imperial family and a professor at the Imperial University for almost 30 years. Unfortunately, all access doors were locked today and the garden could only be viewed from the outside.

Flood Marker Stone in the Metteranlagen

Highlight • Monument

Floods from the Enz and Metter rivers permanently threatened the suburbs and the lower town. The worst known flood on October 30, 1824, even claimed lives. Master stonemason Heinz Lenuzza donated a stone for the 1989 State Garden Show, which indicates some recorded flood levels.

Wobachfelsen

Highlight • Natural Monument

At the beginning of the nature trail, an eight-ton, sculpted geological clock made of granite shows the epochs of the earth's history chronologically and shows index fossils. As you continue along the trail, you can learn about the conditions under which the rocks were formed and how the flora and fauna developed over the course of the geological epochs.

Enz bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The jetty is not very wide and is busy, but you have a great view on both sides and can watch the SUPers and canoeists (you can rent them directly at the jetty).
