A great tour👍daumen high. However, very good kick required, some routes left below the ruins partly very fused and steep (slippery) Caution!
At the end of the trail you come to a golf course. The last kilometers over the field are also very nice. All in all a nice route

Surprising castle ruins over the Glemstal. Also good to reach along the golf course. Whether there is a rest stop there I could not find out.

The Nippenburg is the ruin of a spur castle and a farm southwest of Schwieberdingen (295 m). It was first documented in 1160 and is considered the oldest in the Stuttgart region. In the 17th century, the strategically located on a mountain spur above the Glemstals castle was abandoned and built in the immediate vicinity of the manor house castle Nippenburg. In the following centuries, the castle was used as a quarry and abandoned to decay. The remains of the castle ruins with high shield wall and Vorburgteilen and a massive scouring from the year 1483 were consolidated in the early 1980s.
