Hiking
Before you get to the old town via Lange Straße, you cross the now modern old Postplatz. At the beginning of Lange Straße there was originally the Fellbacher Tor, through a passage to the right you can get into the Zwinger (see station 8). The former parsonage, the birthplace of the silhouette artist Luise Duttenhofer, is located at the junction to Kurz Strasse. The stately building with a red timber frame on the right hand side in Kurz Strasse housed various schools in the city for over 200 years.

Hiking
The most important entrance to the fortified city was once the Fellbach Gate, also known as the Esslingen or Stuttgart Gate. It stood on the inner city wall, on the city-bound side of the building at Lange Straße 61 (see the marking in the pavement). In front of the Fellbach Gate, where the bustling "Alte Postplatz" (Old Post Office Square) is located today, there used to be a stagecoach station. Here, visitors arrived and goods were exchanged. The tower also served as a prison at times.
