Full steam ahead, just like over 100 years ago. One of the steepest and most beautiful railway lines Baden-Württemberg takes you from Schorndorf through Rudersberg to Welzheim. The 22.9 km railway line up into the Swabian Forest and its three impressive viaducts take you through a fascinating countryside and is steeper than the Geislinger Steige. From early May to the end of October the DBK Historische Bahn e.V. trains run the Swabian Forest Rail every Sunday and public holiday.
Discover nature and the beautiful scenery of our region on a walk or a hike. Fresh air, colourful forests and a few forest animals will join you on your way.
The Mercedes-Benz Museum is the only museum in the world that can document in a single continuous timeline over 125 years of auto industry history from its very beginnings to the present day. On nine levels and covering a floor space of 16,500 square metres, the museum presents 160 vehicles and over 1,500 exhibits. As a place of innovation, it also demonstrates that history can point the way ahead. During a two-hour tour of the exhibition, visitors experience a unique journey through automotive history. Transported by lift to the uppermost level of the museum, the visitor arrives back in the year 1886, where two museum tours gradually spiral their way down through the extensive collection and back to the museum exit.
