Hiking
A city hike that couldn't be more beautiful and rightly bears the distinction of being a quality trail. It connects the wonderfully green corners of Ettlingen with the historic and vibrant old town.
Horbach Park, with its wide meadows, idyllic stream, and flowering trees and shrubs in summer, invites you to take a stroll or take a break from everyday life, captivating not only Ettlingen's residents.
Ettlingen's old town is just a stone's throw from the park. Of course, a quick detour to the beautiful castle is a must before exploring the lively streets with cafés and restaurants around the market square.
You'll get a change of perspective at the Bismarck Tower. It towers above the town and offers a magnificent view. Here, the Black Forest merges into the Rhine plain, Karlsruhe is right next door, and in the distance, you can see the Vosges Mountains and the Palatinate Forest.

Throughout the year, the Ettlingen Museum presents stimulating interactive exhibitions on regional art and cultural history, as well as urban archaeology. An extensive program of expert guided tours guarantees an eventful stay with explorations through the historic old town, the castle, and the museums.
Ettlingen Castle dates back to a medieval castle, which was converted into a prestigious Renaissance complex in the 16th century. The castle acquired its Baroque appearance under the reign of Margravine Sybilla Augusta of Baden, who moved her retirement home to Ettlingen in 1727. The impressive paintings in the castle chapel (now the Asam Hall) were created by the famous fresco painter Cosmas Damian Asam.
