The best city hikes and walks in Fürstenwald

Anyone who comes across here on a bike is good.

The Biberach Donkey commemorates Biberach's most famous figure, the poet and writer Christoph Martin Wieland. One of his works is about a seemingly senseless dispute over a donkey's shadow. A merchant had hired a shepherd and his donkey. In the midday heat, the merchant wanted to sit in the donkey's shade, but the shepherd insisted that the shade would have to be paid for separately.... The artwork was created by the provocative artist Peter Lenk, who also created the Imperia statue in Konstanz. The artwork was unveiled on May 6, 2000.

Very nice! You can cross the Ratzengraben on these markers. It adds a little adventure to your city walk.

A very beautiful, spacious market square, dominated by the town's parish church. There's also the town hall (with tourist information), the market fountain, beautiful half-timbered houses, and the Biberach donkey. It's definitely worth a while to linger here. I've written special tips about the Biberach donkey and the church in the corresponding highlights. Be sure to go inside the church!

With the acquisition of the estate of the Munich painters Anton Braith (a Biberach native, 1836–1905) and Christian Mali (1832–1906) between 1905 and 1908, their prestigious, richly furnished studios became part of the Biberach Museum. Today, the Braith-Mali salons are considered the only completely preserved artists' studios from the 19th century. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museum_Biberach

The White Tower, a striking landmark of Biberach, was completed in 1484 after eight years of construction as a late Gothic brick building. With a height of 41 meters and a diameter of 10 meters, it still dominates the cityscape today. The walls, which are up to 2.80 meters thick and taper towards the top, testify to its original function as a defense and watchtower. As a status symbol of the wealthy imperial city of Biberach, the tower received its characteristic white paint job. It formed the end of the medieval city fortifications, which once included 24 small turrets and four city gates. Together with the Gigelturm, it is one of the last remaining towers of the former city fortifications. As part of the "Historical City Tour", you have the opportunity to climb the White Tower every Saturday afternoon and enjoy the incomparable view of the city. Biberach's City Garden was created in 1977 based on designs by the landscape architects Mien Ruys (1904-1999) from Amsterdam and Jo Hagel from Biberach. In summer, the lower level of the garden transforms into a sea of flowers. Among the flowers, shrubs, and a small pond, one can relax on one of the many seating areas. Located slightly higher up and carved into the mountain is the City Garden Rondell, where concerts are held during the summer holidays. The White Tower overlooks the City Garden. Several paths lead up to Gigelberg, past the White Tower and Gigelturm, and over the Hirschgraben.

Established as early as 1363, the Ratzengraben was used to "snot" flax for weaving. Today, the renaturalized stream is part of the natural history trail and invites you to linger.

The city's most famous son is Christoph Martin Wieland. His "History of the Abderites", in which the ancient Schildbürgers conduct a trial over the shadow of a donkey, is considered a plea for civil peace and is a parable for the loss of democratic virtues through discord. In 2000, a donkey sculpture designed by Peter Lenk was inaugurated. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biberach_an_der_Ri%C3%9F#Der_Schatten_des_Esels
