Das Grüne U: the green envelope of Stuttgart




A long bridge (above - left) connects the Oberer Schlossgarten with the Mittlerer Schlossgarten across the very busy Schillerstrasse that runs along the central station. Park Rosenstein (above - middle) is a large landscaped park with a neoclassical former palace surrounded by -what else- a rose garden. The Leibfriedscher Garten (above - right) is dominated by this artificial mount that serves as a vantage point across the city. The Wartbergpark (below - left) is also a more recent park and is known for the many fountains. A pre-existing allotment (below - middle) was incorporated into the Wartbergpark. To connect the Wartbergpark to the Höhenpark a new walkway was laid down along the steep slope of the Wartberg (Literally: Guards Mountain) and cuts through old vineyards (below - right).
