My reviews are always sincere and to be honest I didn’t have any idea I would love it there so much! Already thinking of a wintery return! *This post was brought to you in collaboration with Tourism BW in an effort to showcase this awesome part of Germany to you guys. What’s your favorite part of Germany? Share in the comments! I want to explore more! If you do embark on a day trip from Stuttgart to any of these magical places, let me know which was your favorite. I had no idea that all of this existed just a short flight away, and the greatest part is, almost nobody else does, either! Don’t you just love uncovering these little gems without the loads of tourists? I most definitely do.

In closing, as I look to spend more time in Germany (after making Berlin a quasi-home base many years ago), it sure has been a pleasure to explore more of this lovely country. It took us all week to give each of these places justice, so I suggest basing yourself in Stuttgart and doing day trips either via train or by renting a car (which would give you the most freedom), or doing the loop and spending a night or two in Sasbachwalden as well.Ĭompare prices and rent your car here for your day trip from Stuttgart. It will be a flat path and it takes about 20 minutes to view the castle. Follow the wide, white path without taking any detours. Getting There: To get to the viewpoint, the Zellerhornweise, you’ve got to take a car to this hotel then walk to your right (with the hotel to your back). How perfect! I can say with certainty that the other one at that very moment was positively mobbed with tourists. Though going inside of castles is marginally cool in my book, it was this viewpoint that I wanted to see Hohenzollern from.Įven though I think this castle is more perfect than the one in Bavaria that Disney’s Sleeping Beauty castle was modeled after, there was almost nobody else there except for a few locals out for a walk. The first time, the road was too snowy and we weren’t even sure where we were going, so Yvonne and I had to give up, but this time, we vowed to find it. This wasn’t my first time trying to get to this viewpoint to see Hohenzollern from afar. Tübingen was also spared most of the bombing in World War II that destroyed much of the rest of Germany, so the old buildings still stand, making it even more charming than I thought was possible. It really was the perfect day trip from Stuttgart.

This time, there was a lot more life to it and I just loved seeing the flowers everywhere. Back then it was magical and very quiet, given it was right after Christmas.

Tübingen is an adorable little university town that I’d had the pleasure of seeing in the snow. Then turn to your right from the train platform and walk until you see the trail. Getting there: You can either drive to it or take the train from Stuttgart main station and get off at Bad Urach Wasserfall. If you go during the off season and on a weekday, you might not even see anyone else there! What’s so cool about this region in general is that it’s not nearly as touristy as Bavaria, Berlin, or Hamburg (etc.), so when visiting these places, it’s mostly locals around and not bus-loads of people.
