    Hiking

    Flat steps lead up to the Gimpelstein. At the top you can expect a beautiful view down to Calw and the surrounding landscape.

    Hiking

    One of the best views of Calw.

    A large information board explains that the Gimpelstein has been known since 1520. The name probably comes from the bullfinch, which was ambushed here with a bird trap.

    Further up, there is a sky lounger for relaxing.

    The premium hiking trail "Water, Forest, and Meadow Path" also passes by here.
