Bench With a View of the Heilbronn Vineyards

Highlight • Viewpoint

There are benches all along the panoramic path with wonderful views, inviting you to take a short break. It is great to stroll along the path and enjoy the vineyards at any time of year. Especially when the sky is beautiful and cloudless, you can see very far across the Heilbronn region.

Heuchelberg Watchtower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The tower of the Heuchelberger Warte was once part of the Württemberg Landgraben defense line and a monitorable customs border for all north-south traffic in the Neckar valley. Those who are not afraid of the effort of the ascent will experience a magnificent all-round view high up on the tower. The stations on the Heuchelberger Wald adventure trail are an entertaining companion especially for children up to the Heuchelberger Warte.

Marble Run (BUGA Heilbronn 2019)

Highlight • Structure

The marble run is from the BUGA Heilbronn 2019 inventory. A “wooden marble” can be purchased for 50 cents. A nice highlight, especially for children.

Heuchelberger Warte — Restaurant and Beer Garden

Highlight • Restaurant

One of the top excursion destinations in the region. When the weather is nice, the restaurant is indeed very busy, but thanks to the many lovingly designed seating options, it spreads out very well. The staff is really on the ball and completely in sync, so you don't have any unnecessary waiting times. In the self-service area, you buy drinks and food at the checkout. Drinks can be picked up directly at the stand next door; for food, you get a number. It is visible in various places in the catering area whether the food is ready for pickup. An absolute recommendation for every season.

Only the length of the hike made us …
