The Schlossgarten in Karlsruhe is a huge park in the style of an English landscape park with plenty of greenery, located directly north of the palace. Here you'll find large meadows, playgrounds, a lake, the Schlossgartenbahn (castle garden railway), and a very lively and relaxed atmosphere.

Very nice local recreation area on the southern outskirts of Karlsruhe. Playgrounds, model boat lake, rowing boat rentals, large lawns and Mount Klotz, from which, with good visibility, you can see the Palatinate Forest and the Black Forest. At the western end of the Günther-Klotz-Anlage is the "Cool Krug" with a beer garden and home-brewed beer.

Mount Klotz :) the home of the festival in Karlsruhe! ... but not only: along the Alb there are many places to sit, chill, read or ponder. Whether with children, dogs, bikes or on foot, there is room for everyone! Definitely make a stop at the "Kuhler Krug".
