December 14, 2021,Wanderweg Himmel Hoch (WE2) Weinstadt

"This hiking trail connects some of the Weinstadt high points. From the Schützenhüttle, the Karlstein, the Drei Giant with Remstalkino and the Kappelberg castle ruins, there are fascinating views of the Remstal."
Today, however, the view was limited. And since I started relatively late, the castle was in the dark today. But I've seen them before.

The "Himmel Hoch" hiking trail connects Weinstadt's highlights, such as Käppele, Schützenhüttle, Karlstein, Drei Riesen and Remstalkino. It leads through seemingly endless vineyards and offers fascinating views.

The trail starts at Endersbach train station and ends at Beutelsbach train station. It is well marked and marked throughout with a "WE2".
