Land.Tour Schönbuchtrauf

Highlight • Trail

The Land.Tour "Schönbuchtrauf" is a really beautiful and varied circuit of around 11 km. There are also a few ways to shorten it, but these "shortcuts" are quite challenging.

Naturfreundehaus at Schönbuch

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Hut with a very large parking lot and a nice outdoor area for sitting and a great lounge. There is a large playground in the immediate vicinity and the Schönbucher Tower is only a short walk away.
