Timeline
14:24
Grab a coffee and a slice of cake at List. It opens at 08:30 on weekdays and 09:00 on Saturdays, giving you plenty of time to start early and digest before the climb.
15:24
Walk up to Birkenkopf. This debris mountain made of 15 million cubic meters of WWII rubble is the highest point in Stuttgart. Arrive here an hour and a half before sunset to find a good spot on the hill as the golden light begins to fade.
16:54
Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The view from the top offers a panoramic end to the day.
17:39
Head down to the red light district for dinner at Brunnenwirt. This legendary snack bar serves very tasty food, especially the high-quality schnitzel. The ambiance is iconic, and it is the perfect place to warm up after the hilltop wind.
18:24
End the night at Oblomow. This pub features a table football (Tecball) area in the back. It is open until 05:00 on weekdays and 08:00 on weekends, so you can stay as late as you like.
Local tip
The walk from Birkenkopf down to the Brunnenwirt area is steep. Wear comfortable shoes. The Brunnenwirt is a casual spot, so no reservations are needed, but it can get busy.
