Schönbuch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Schönbuch is an almost completely wooded area south west of Stuttgart and part of the Southern German Escarpment Landscape (German: "südwestdeutsches Schichtstufenland"). In 1972 the centre zone of the Schönbuch became the first natural park in Baden-Württemberg. Today the 156 km² large reserve is referred to as Schönbuch whereas the original, more comprehensive area is usually called Schönbuch-Region.
The natural park Schönbuch is an important recreational area of the Stuttgart region, also because it is intersected by relatively few roads only.
[edit] Location
Approximately 25 km south of the city center of Stuttgart and about 15 km south west of Stuttgart Airport, located in central Baden-Württemberg, also close to Reutlingen (South East of the region), the university city of Tübingen (South), and Herrenberg (West).
