The Ailenberg on the edge of the Neckar Valley does not belong to Stuttgart, but to the Esslingen district. The tower on the Ailenberg is called either the Ailenberg tower, Melacturm or Schlurger. There are numerous fairy tales and legends around him.

The best starting point for a visit is the Stuttgart-Obertürkheim S-Bahn station.
