I used to live in Stuttgart and never knew about this garden. What a treasure!…read more I walked to this garden from the main train station area on a very hot day. It is at an elevation, like on the hill. I went up using a lot of stairs but the other direction offers a gradual incline without stairs. I'm glad I brought water. You enter through a gate. The garden is maintained by a local community group and closes at night. There is a small lake and I even saw a little turtle by the water. There is an indoor structure but it was locked when I visited. You can walk around and see the ambiance and there is an upper part with a view of the city. There were two people making out when I walked up to see the view. So that's pleasant. This garden is a nice place to take a break in the city and look at the view over the city. There's not much shade except for under the outdoor structure. If you want to sit there are mostly rocks. I recommend a visit if you want a peaceful, not often visited break from the hustle of Stuttgart.

The Killesberg Tower is a 40.4-meter high observation tower located in the Killesberg Park in…read moreStuttgart, Germany. According to the write-up posted, it was originally planned for the 1993 World Horticultural Exposition, however, it was finally erected in 2001. The four observation decks at 8, 16, 24, and 31 meters are hinged to the main mast and at their circumference connected to the net by press fittings. The two spiral staircases, one for ascending and another for descending, are suspended only by the steel cable net. Significant design elements of the tower are the central main mast whose heel is hinged by a steel ball to the central foundation, and the steel cable net of triangular meshes. The net is tensioned between a circular concrete foundation and a pressure ring at an altitude of 33.5 meters which in turn is suspended from the mast head by cables. All cables and fittings are galvanized. In addition, all steel construction elements received a double paint coat. The hollow sections, i.e., the mast and the stair tubes, are galvanized on both their inner and outer surfaces. Access to the park and the tower is free of charge. For the tower, a voluntary contribution is suggested. Opening hours are from 7 a.m. until nightfall. On a clear day, there would be a very nice view of Stuttgart from the top observation deck (31 meters). Unfortunately, it was cloudy/sprinkling when we visited. Even then, there was a very nice view of the park. If you have acrophobia or fear of heights, I'd suggest you'd skip climbing this one and look from below.

The Killesberg Park (Höhenpark Killesberg) is an urban public park of 123 acres in Stuttgart,…read moreGermany. It is just north of the state capital. The park dates back to the horticultural show of 1939. Before the show, a large area of the park had been a quarry. It was transformed into a park with exhibition sites for the show, and has remained hosting horticultural events on a regular basis. Since its opening, the park has been home to the 15-inch narrow-gauge Killesberg Railway. In the summer months, visitors can see two diesel and two steam locomotives, which have been fixtures in the park since 1950. The horticultural show of 1939 saw the opening of the railway when two borrowed steam engines from Leipzig traversed a short stretch of track. Unfortunately, it was not in operation during our recent visit. Another prominent structure in this park is the Killesberg Tower (Killesbergturm) which is a 40.4 meter high observation tower with four varying height decks overlooking the park completed in 2001. It was designed using cable-stayed bridge technology. There also is a farm animals area with chickens, donkeys, llamas and alpacas, and flamingo pond nearby.

Nowadays vigils are held every year, remembering the victims who lost their lives during the war. The middle of the park holds a tower that can be climbed. I have a fear of heights and only made it halfway up. Be aware- the. higher you climb up the more the tower swings. However- the view is breathtaking and I would recommend going up.
