Old Town history and short routes of discovery
The WA 4 route around Waiblingen combines insights into the city's history with views of the town centre. At the same time, it leads through a varied cultural landscape of vineyards, orchards and river channels. This gives you a different perspective on Waiblingen than a walk directly through the Old Town.
The “Waiblinger Neidköpfe” walking tour passes through the Old Town and includes 13 stops. The circular route is listed as 0.87 kilometres long, with an elevation gain of 7 metres. This manageable distance can help with planning your day if you want to combine a town walk with other plans. Check the latest route details before your visit. The Old Town also has green spaces for relaxation for all ages.
Talaue and experiences along the Rems
Talaue is a green area on the Rems, very close to Waiblingen's Old Town. Its location makes it a distinct contrast to a historic walk: you can experience the Old Town and Talaue as two different sides of a stay in Waiblingen. The highland cattle in Talaue are also among the town's sights.
If you'd like to make your stay more active, Waiblingen offers outdoor experiences on hiking trails, by bicycle and by canoe on the Rems. The Remsi Escape Game offers a playful way to explore the town as a team and is aimed at younger visitors. Check the provider's latest booking information before your visit. This gives you the choice between outdoor activities and a shared adventure, without having to fit everything into the same day's itinerary.
