Stuttgart Süd vom Weißenburgpark

The Sunday Challenge (TSC): a place you love
Because Stuttgart is surrounded by hills it tends to get very stifling in the heat. Weißenburgpark is higher up and affords a bit of fresh(er) air and views of the city. The hill in the first note (Karlshöhe) is another local favourite.

Many thanks, Marj! They do keep the viewpoints free of vegetation:-)

Amelia ^club

is this your home city, Gudrun? I agree, it must be nice to get into the hills in summer. It's great that the viewpoints are free of too many leaves.
I must sort out some TSC photos.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Amelia ^club

Thanks a lot, Amelia! Yes, that's where I live- a few streets up from the bottom of the valley. The areas higher up are incredibly expensive, you wouldn't get a house (an older one) for under 1 million Euro, most go for much more.

Amelia ^club has replied to Gudrun ^club

In some ways it must be a bit like Bergen, except for the climate and the lack of sea. In fact - not much like Bergen at all. ;-)

Gudrun ^club has replied to Amelia ^club

One thing we have in common with Bergen is a funicular:-) And we even have a cable car! All because of the topograhy...

So, it is a "hot" place in the summer =)

Gudrun ^club has replied to Sami Serola (inactiv… ^club

Too hot for my taste- if I had money I'd have a second home somewhere in the mountains or by the sea;-)

Quite a shot ... how lovely and have to agree with Judith, thought of Florence at first glance. :)

Please see the update for Ipernity on our discussion page. (june 4, 2017)

Gudrun ^club has replied to Clickity Click

Thanks a lot, Chris! Stuttgart is not quite Florence but the climate is heading that way;-)
I'm following the IMA.group closely and have put up the news on my latest photo. My club subscription runs until Nov 18, so I'll definitely stay here:-)

wow! what a beautiful city scene. I haven't seen this many houses in the last 10 years let alone in one spot.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Shuttering Yukon

Thank you, Wendi! At times (especially when it's as hot as it was last week) I wish I was in a place like Yukon:-) But generally it's good to have everything you need within walking distance.

It will stay a dream;-) Living in a city also does have advantages.

Lovely views of Stuttgart, Gudrun. So good that the hillsides remain mainly undeveloped.

7 years ago.

Gudrun ^club has replied to tiabunna ^club

Many thanks, George! The wooded hills are needed to get some fresh air into town- if property developers could do as they liked it would all be built up...

Wirklich ein guter Ausblick, das Hauptbild ist auch mein Favorit.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Leo W ^club

Herzlichen Dank, Leo! Es gibt so einige Aussichtspunkte auf den (Halb-)Höhenlagen Stuttgarts.

Great view of your hometown, Gudrun! My knowledge of Stuttgart stops at knowing it exists! ;)

Thanks, Steve! People usually only know about Porsche and Mercedes and maybe Bosch;-)

So hab ich oberhalb Florenz getanden; Gudrun: Ein ähnlich schöner Anblick. Aber bei fast 40°C bin ich nicht in die Brafpfanne hinabgestiegen.

7 years ago.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Ruesterstaude ^club

Besten Dank, Volker! Ah ja, Piazzale Michelangelo:-) Mit Florenz können wir nicht mithalten, aber Bratpfanne kannst du im Stuttgarter Kessel auch erleben.

Nice view of the city Gudrun. Looks like the park is a good height above the city - good exercise to walk up there ;-)

7 years ago.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Graham Chance ^club

Thanks, Graham! Wherever you go in Stuttgart you very soon end up going uphill, there are more than 400 flights of steps in town;-)

Stuttgart liegt ja auch in einem kleinen Talkessel, klasse Eindrücke zeigst du hier.
Und stelle gerade wieder fest, die Stadt ist noch weiß auf meiner Landkarte und das muss bald geändert werden ;-) !
Viele Grüße MAIK

Gudrun ^club has replied to menonfire ^club

Schönen Dank, Maik! Stuttgart hat schöne Ecken, das Erreichen kann aber schweißtreibend sein. Man kann natürlich auch mit den Öffis rauffahren und abwärts laufen. Für Baustellenfans gibt's auch reichlich zu sehen;-)

Less keen on the prospect of stifling heat than I am this series of fabulous images Gudrun ... sounds like I'll need to visit in the winter! ;)

7 years ago.

Gudrun ^club has replied to autofantasia ^club

Thanks a lot, Paul! The problem about winter is the pollution, the smog often is trapped down in the valley by inversion weather. A few years ago we hardly saw the sun all winter.-(
Early spring and late autumn can be nice though:-)

also ich würde mit den Öffis hochfahren ;-);
ein schönes Stadtpanorama von Stuttgart, Gudrun!

Vielen Dank, Christel! Versucht bin ich immer, aber ich habe derzeit kein Abo und überwinde mich dann meist dazu, den Berg hochzuschnaufen-)
