Schönbuch Nature Park

Once the hunting grounds for the kings of Württemberg, Schönbuch is now an unspoiled oasis for wildlife, such as deer and kingfishers, criss-crossed with hiking and biking paths through the woods, past waterfalls and alongside fast-flowing streams. Visitors can also picnic, cook out at the barbecue areas, and have fun in the numerous playgrounds. For more details, head for the information center in the ruined 16th-century monastery.
