Flood Protection Dike

Highlight • Structure

The way over the dam is beautiful. If you are afraid of holes and puddles after rain, you better look for another way. The holes are patched up every year, but they never go away.

If you have been cycling for a while or are on your way home after a hard day's work, the weir invites you for a short break. Far away from street noise and traffic, you can breathe a bit in this idyll and "come down". A bit of birdsong and the sound of the Alb, before you dive back into the world of hustle and bustle. A very nice place!

Ettlingen Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

Beautiful city center, with plenty to do—Ettlingen is highly underrated. The Glockenspiel is especially great.

The Alb River and Ettlingen Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

Old, historic, well-kept city worth seeing with many highlights. After exploring the city, be sure to stop by the Vogelbräu. It's worth it!

Ettlingen Old Town and Castle

Highlight • Historical Site

Ettlingen Castle is a baroque castle in the center of the Baden-Württemberg town of Ettlingen.
Today's castle had two, possibly three, previous buildings. After the Baden Margrave Hermann V was enfeoffed by Emperor Friedrich II with the town of Ettlingen, which was founded by the Hohenstaufens, his son Margrave Rudolf I of Baden built a castle complex in the middle of the 13th century - possibly on the remains of a previous Hohenstaufen building; However, a previous building has not yet been proven. The lower floors of the keep in the castle courtyard, which are still preserved today, date from this time.

A magnificent Renaissance castle followed in the 16th century. Two round corner towers were added to the south wing, and the keep was given a half-timbered upper floor. The three-wing Renaissance complex around the old keep, completed in 1600, was destroyed along with the entire city by French troops in the War of the Palatinate Succession in 1689.
