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.

View of Neuer See

Highlight • Lake

The Neuer See is the centrally located park lake between the Bärensee and the Pfaffensee. On the north bank, a beautiful hiking trail runs directly along the lake shore with ever-changing views of the lake.

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.

Büsnauer Wiesental Lake

Highlight • Lake

I just love the “atmosphere” there. It is quiet and there are plenty of benches scattered around, inviting you to take a rest with a view.
