November 28, 2021,Feierabend Spaziergang Höhenpark Killesberg

Between the end of the day and the appointment, think about what to do now, drive home or stay on the road. Then it occurred to me that I could go to the heights of Park Killesberg. Great decision. In the beginning I had feet as heavy as lead and extremely shaky legs. And then after a few kilometers it …

Stuttgart's largest and most varied inner city park awaits us on the Killesberg. It is one of the most popular local recreation areas for Swabian city dwellers.
Pure action and relaxation, sea of flowers and water features, observation tower and milk bar – the Killesberg Stuttgart High Park is a wonderful excursion destination for the whole family.

A small round through the Höhenpark. Always beautiful, especially the variety of flowers. Unfortunately, the magnolias got caught in the frost. A pity.
I found the woman with her dog on the bench brilliant.

July 27, 2022,Just for fun / Killesberg Runde

Since I still have the €9 ticket from the hikes in Freiburg and Hinterzarten, which is still valid this week, I spontaneously decided after work to go to the Killesberg in Stuttgart. Has only become a small round but was still something else. In picture 2 it must be called Killesberg Bahn. I sent the photo too early.
