East Shore of Pfaffensee

Highlight • Lake

Totally nice for walking and jogging - it's best to come early in the morning when it's not that crowded.

The butcher's house was built in 1930. From 1933 onwards, the water from the Pfaffensee was channeled through the butcher's house and made drinking water in the Gallenklinge waterworks. In 1998 the water treatment from the Pfaffensee was stopped. The park lakes have been used for emergency water supply ever since.

In addition to water birds, turtles can also be observed here. They like to sun themselves on the tree trunks in the water.

Bärensee (Bear Lake)

Highlight • Lake

Whereby most of the pictures here are not the Bear Lake, but the "New Lake". The entire lakes here run under the generic term "park lakes" and were artificially created to improve the water supply in Stuttgart. In 1575 the lowest lake, the Pfaffensee, 1618 the Bärensee (only that is the lake directly below the Bärenschlössle). And last, the lake in the middle, the "New Lake" 1833th The system also includes the more distant Steinbach and Katzenbachsee. The lakes are no longer used for water supply, only for recreation.

Bridge between Neuer See and Pfaffensee

Highlight • Viewpoint

The park lakes Stuttgart (Bear Lake, Lake New and Pfaffensee) and the Bärenschlössle are a popular destination of the Stuttgart. Consideration is therefore a matter of course, especially in the summer. In winter, however, you will find it much easier to rest and enjoy the beauty of the winter landscape alone.
