The Glems is a right tributary of the Enz in Baden-Württemberg. It rises in the Rotwildpark nature reserve near Stuttgart, which is part of the Glemswald forest in western Stuttgart. It flows through the districts of Böblingen and Ludwigsburg, dividing the Strohgäu and flows into the Enz near Unterriexingen.
Its length is 47 km;
its catchment area covers 196 km²

The name may originate from antiquity and be derived from the Indo-European word *glom(a)/*glem(a) from *Glamis(i)a, which would mean something like "the muddy one".

Hiking

Definitely the most beautiful section of the Glems Valley, it's a pleasant, unpaved path in a very idyllic valley. Unlike other sections, where some car traffic can be expected, this section is used exclusively by hikers and the occasional cyclist. During floods, the trail may be closed, as parts of the trail run directly alongside the Glems River and are therefore easily flooded.
