Höhenpark Killesberg & Killesberg Tower
Höhenpark Killesberg
A hilltop park converted from a former quarry, with flower beds, a miniature train and a petting farm for families, and a 40 m cable-net observation tower with views over the city.
Killesberg Park was converted from an old quarry and opened in 1939 as the venue for a horticultural exhibition. It covers about 50 hectares and includes large flower beds, lakes, a petting farm, children's playgrounds, and an outdoor summer swimming pool. The narrow-gauge Killesberg miniature train (Killesbergbahn) runs in summer and is a favorite with children. The Killesberg Tower, completed in 2001, stands about 40 m tall. It is supported by steel cables and has a light, elegant design. From the top you can see the city center and the surrounding hills. The park and tower are free to visit. They are right next to the Weissenhof Estate, so you can explore both together.
