Hiking

From the Old City Gate in Esslingen, a picturesque view opens up of the old town with its half-timbered houses, the church towers of St. Dionysius and St. Paul, and the Neckar River. The perspective is particularly impressive at sunrise or sunset, when the rooftops are bathed in warm light and Esslingen Castle towers over the city.

Hiking

A very beautiful section of the path with excellent views of Esslingen and the Neckar Valley.
