Your new hiking shoes are waiting for their first use? You want to get out and spend a whole day in nature — immediately and without having to travel too far? Then we've got the perfect Collection for you: gentle hilly landscapes, rustic forests and the picturesque river valleys of Enz and Neckar extend around the Stuttgart basin. The many streams and picturesque reservoirs hidden in the dense woods are particularly beautiful destinations for a hike.

We have selected seven hikes for you to explore the nature around Stuttgart. Directly on the southwestern outskirts of the city, the Park lakes and the Heslacher waterfalls lure you to a short excursion. Further south you can explore the lovely Seven Mill Valley. And in the north, the valley landscapes around Neckar and Enz await you. Thanks to the cosy inns, restaurants and beer gardens, you won't miss out on anything culinary on your tours.

Particularly practical: most of our tours can be reached by underground, S-Bahn or regional train directly from Stuttgart main station. Just get on the train, out into the countryside without any traffic jams and up onto the hiking trail.
