Untertürkheim: Winegrowing, Inselbad and Excursion Destinations

Untertürkheim brings together several distinct themes for planning your trip: winegrowing and steep vineyard slopes, the riverside Inselbad, and the nearby burial chapel in Rotenberg. When choosing your destination, you can decide whether you are mainly interested in wine country, sports and recreation, or a historic place to visit. The wider Stuttgart destination also offers further landscapes and viewpoints. This makes it easy to tailor your trip to the things that matter to you.

Winegrowing and seasonal wine taverns

Untertürkheim retains a winegrowing character, evident in its steep vineyard slopes as well as its wineries, winegrowers’ cooperatives and seasonal wine taverns. Together, these form part of the area’s wine-growing cultural landscape. The slopes give the theme a scenic dimension, while the wineries and cooperatives add further facets of winegrowing. Seasonal wine taverns offer a different, time-limited experience. If you plan to visit one, it is best to check its opening days.

Leisure and history in the area

The Inselbad Untertürkheim is located by the river and offers sports and leisure activities. This destination centers on a swimming facility, while the vineyards define the area’s landscape. Opening times may vary by season, so check the current hours in advance if you are planning a visit.

Another excursion destination is the burial chapel in Rotenberg, which is associated with the Untertürkheim district. King Wilhelm I had it built from 1820 as a memorial to his wife, Katharina. The building thus connects a specific historical occasion with a place to visit in the surrounding area. When planning your trip, you can add this historical highlight to the Inselbad’s leisure activities and the wine-growing cultural landscape.

Paths and green spaces in the wider Stuttgart destination

In the wider Stuttgart destination, the Stäffele offer a distinctive way to experience the city’s landscape: Stuttgart has more than 400 open-air stairways, known as Stäffele in Swabian. They connect the valley basin with the surrounding slopes and offer views across the basin. The Green U offers a different perspective. This eight-kilometer, U-shaped green corridor runs from Stuttgart city center to Höhenpark Killesberg. The Stäffele are all about stairways and views, while the Green U stands out for the length and route of its green corridor.

Rosenstein Park is also part of the wider Stuttgart destination. Visitors can stroll among native and exotic trees across 100 hectares, and the lawns can be used for picnics. For panoramic views, there is also the Killesberg Tower: it is 42 meters high and has four platforms at heights of 8, 16, 24 and 31 meters. They offer views over Stuttgart and the Neckar Valley. The park and tower offer different experiences: the focus is on walks and picnic areas at the park, and on views from the platforms at the tower.
