The Burgsteige leads steeply between vineyards up to Esslingen Castle. In the Seilergang between Hochwacht and Dicker Turm you can enjoy the view of Esslingen, even when it's raining.

Hiking

Through the vineyards, the Esslinger castle on the bastions to reach. Cobblestone + steep slope + rain => very, very slippery!

Hiking

A promising passage as an alternative to the castle relay. On the way to Esslingen Castle and down the path there is a nice change. Both paths are very steep and you should wear good shoes.
