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.

Bismarck Tower above Ettlingen

You often can't climb the tower, you don't even have to, you also have a great view over Ettlingen from the foot of the tower.

Actually, the weather wasn't that good for today, so we chose a small round in Ettlingen. Namely the quality trail "City, Forest, River". The starting point of our tour was the free parking lot at the Freibad-Albgaubad.

Today it was freezing cold. But a little fresh air doesn't do any harm. So today we chose a nice little walk in Ettlingen. First we went up to the Bismarck Tower. When we got there we were lucky and the sun came out. That meant we had a great atmosphere. We then finished off at the local Christmas market.

why not go for a hike half through the city and half in nature, we thought, but unfortunately this tour is not recommended as a hike.

Today I was just on a nice little walk with a couple of friends. But nice to come out in the slightly drizzly weather: it was very relaxed 🙂

My optimized version of the “Quality Trail City, Forest, River” with a starting point at the castle and incorporating the beautiful part of the Panorama Trail.
If you follow the original route, you will miss the best views.
