Experience nature or explore the city - both are possible at the Früchtetrauf! At the foot of the Swabian Alb, bordered by the Schönbuch Nature Park in the north and the Albtrauf in the south, the Tübingen district impresses with its diverse offerings - especially for active vacationers. Wooded heights, sun-drenched vineyards, fragrant orchards and romantic river valleys are an event in every season. Picturesque little towns, palaces, castles and museums ensure a special cultural experience. The orchard town of Mössingen and the historic old towns of Rottenburg and Tübingen invite you to explore and shop. And with the regional specialties of Swabian cuisine and their first-class wines, no wish is left unfulfilled. Thanks to the good connections by train and bus, you can easily make your trip to the Früchtetrauf sustainable!


Fruit drip spray

The region tastes like the new Fruit Spritz: refreshingly crisp with cider from the orchards around Tübingen, Mössingen, and Rottenburg! The Fruit Spritz brings the taste of these regional orchards to the city and into your glass: apple and elderflower create the perfect balance between tart and sweet. The Fruit Spritz is served at participating partner establishments.

Hiking

Narrow, natural paths lead you right outside the city gates through fragrant meadow orchards, mighty forests or along babbling brooks. Hiking lovers get their money's worth on short circular routes with little incline, demanding day tours and stages of long-distance hiking trails.

Stroll

The cities in the region are as varied as the nature on the Früchtetrauf: The student city of Tübingen is always full of life and a unique flair. In the small town of Rottenburg, things are a little more relaxed: you can enjoy an ice cream on the Neckar or a coffee by the cathedral. The small alleyways of the old towns invite you to explore and shop.
