Standing at 511 meters, the Birkenkopf, or "Monte Scherbelino," is Stuttgart’s highest inner-city point. From its summit, you’ll enjoy sweeping views of Stuttgart and, on clear days, breathtaking vistas of the Swabian Alb, Black Forest, and Neckar Valley. But this hill is more than just a scenic spot—it’s a poignant memorial. Between 1953 and 1957, 1.5 million cubic meters of rubble from Stuttgart’s WWII bombings were piled here, raising its height by 40 meters. Today, it’s a place of reflection, history, and natural beauty.
Join us for a hike to this extraordinary location. It’s the perfect mix of history, culture, and outdoor adventure.
