Tips from the Community
In the middle of the green, the Naturfreundehaus am Kappelberg is idyllically located above vineyards and orchards. The cozy meeting place is run by volunteers on weekends and offers hikers a relaxing break with a magnificent view. Those who wish can even stay overnight here. A wonderfully down-to-earth place where the Schurwald still feels pleasantly decelerated.

The Fellbach Meditation Trail, approximately 4 km long, comprises 14 stations that invite contemplation. It is very well signposted. Unfortunately, it is not a circular route. This could perhaps have been improved. A brochure, "Fellbach Meditation Trail," is available, which describes all 14 stations in detail. It is published by the Fellbach Meditation Trail Association (Förderverein Besinnungsweg Fellbach e.V.).

A place for reflection, leisure, and contemplation, created in 2016 by the artist group "Inges Idee" A power pole that breaks ranks and relaxes contentedly. Are we consuming too much electricity? Is it meant to remind us that even power poles need a break sometimes? I find this artwork exceptionally appealing.

I enjoy walking through the vineyards here. You feel a bit removed from everyday life in the valley.

I admire these wonderful vineyard cottages made of stone or wood. They seem to come from another time.
