    Hiking

    According to the text on the information board, the water from five lakes (Bärensee, Pfaffensee, Neuer See, Katzenbachsee and Steinbachsee) was treated in the Gallenklinge waterworks. The water from the Neuer See was fed to the waterworks through the Metzgerhausstollen tunnel. The other lakes were and are connected to the Neuer See by water pipes, tubes and ditches.
    The treatment of water from the lakes in the Stuttgart area has since been abandoned. Today, only Lake Constance water is fed into the city's water pipes.

    Hiking

    From 1874, the lake water was fed directly to the newly built Hasenberg lake water works on the Hasenberg without a detour via the Nesenbach, which treated it to drinking water and supplied it to Stuttgart. In 1933 this task was taken over by the Gallenklinge waterworks, to which the water was fed via the butcher's house tunnel built in 1930. At times, the New Lake also stored water from the Lake Constance water supply.

    In April 1998 the water treatment from the lakes was stopped, since then the park lakes have been reserved for emergency water supply.
