MUSEUM RITTER WALK
You would like to take a stroll through both art and nature? In that case your wish could not be easier to fulfil than at MUSEUM RITTER. A specially devised footpath takes the visitor on a walk directly from the Museum through the adjoining Schönbuch nature park. The walk begins by the cubic sculpture on the Museum’s parking lot, and takes you after about 30 minutes by foot to Lake Fäulbach. In addition, MUSEUM RITTER is directly located on the “museum cycle route”, which extends from Weil der Stadt to Nürtingen and links up numerous exhibition venues.

Waldenbuch
Situated between Stuttgart and Tübingen, Waldenbuch’s old town with its late mediaeval charm nestles around a small hill crested by a castle and a church. Beautiful half-timbered buildings invite the visitor to take a leisurely stroll. Castle Waldenbuch, once a much loved stop off for the Dukes of Württemberg during the hunting season, is now home to the Museum der Alltagskultur, an ethnographic museum with regularly changing exhibitions.

Schönbuch Nature Park
Schönbuch Nature Park, which with its scenic shelters and fireplaces, and its watercourses, is a popular place for a day out. The beauty and richness of the park is heightened by its natural features: large stretches of forest, ancient sturdy trees, colourful dales and orchard meadows, marshland, untouched streams, vineyards, magnificent avenues of trees and game preserves are all ready for ramblers, cyclists and even the casual stroller to pay a visit.

Siebenmühlental
Siebenmühlental lies south of Stuttgart on the perimeter of Schönbuch nature reserve. Running alongside the River Reichenbach is the valley of Leinfelden-Echterdingen (District of Musberg), which extends to Burkhardtsmühle near Waldenbuch. The roughly 10-kilometre hiking trail follows the embankment of the former steam railway line, which was in operation from 1928 to 1956 between Leinfelden and Waldenbuch. A gentle incline makes the route an Eldorado for cyclists and inline skaters.
Today a total of eleven mills line the route, and not seven as suggested by the name Siebenmühlental – or “Seven Mills Vale”. Originally the valley was named "Reichenbachtal" after the Reichenbach that flows through it, but it was renamed Siebenmühlental in the 19th century. Already the land register from 1383 named seven mills, whose number rose to eleven in the 20th century.
Burkhartsmühle, a mill close to MUSEUM RITTER, has a garden restaurant that will make a lovely conclusion to every hike or ramble.

Bebenhausen Castle and Monastery
The Cistercian Monastery at Bebenhausen was founded in the 12th century. The monastery complex is almost completely preserved and gives a fascinating insight into monastic life during the Middle Ages. With its rich architectural design, its meandering alleyways and garden, this is one of the most beautiful monasteries in Baden-Württemberg. Its colourful history ranges from its heyday in the 13th to 15th century as a religious centre, to the years in which it served as the seat of the Parliament of Württemberg-Hohenzollern (1947-1952).
