Bobbahn Donnstetten (2016)

On the way back from our Il Viaggio dei due Runner Tour from Italy to Stuttgart we stopped at the Bobbahn Donnstetten, which is located directly at the village Donnstetten. Along the ski slope, the Alpine Coaster stretches its way up, whereby the full track is not visible.

Arriving at the top of the Donnstetten bobsleigh run, it starts off quite swiftly with the crossing of a good drop. Quite surprised, you then pass through a wide left-hand bend, which releases you into two jumps, i.e. smaller hills, which, however, let you lift off your seat a bit. Still with full throttle you pass the first of seven serpentine curves, in which the speed is now gradually reduced. Shortly after that you reach the end of the track, whose dramaturgy was wrongly constructed and thus after an exciting beginning somehow offers nothing more.

Stuttgart (2016)

Stuttgart might not be the most interesting city in Germany; especially not on a weekend when everything is closed, but there are some really cool places around the city, which I really enjoyed. As I lived in a shared flat in Stuttgart-Stammheim during my internship at Daimler in Sindelfingen, I had plenty of time to take the tram towards the city and explore it bit by bit. Speaking of trams, the Straßenbahnwelt Motor Museum is absolutely worthwhile! It is a very nice and informative museum featuring a large exhibition with countless trams.

Of course, I also had a look at the newly reopened Stuttgarter Fernsehturm to see the city from above, as well as given the funicular Seilbahn and the cogwheel railway Zacke a try. I just love this kind of stuff, as I love a good Musical. Back in the days, the Musical company Stella and countless other investors built a kind of entertainment resort at the outskirts of the city called SI-Centrum, where you can find two Musical Theatres. Back in the days, they were called Musical Hall 1 and 2, nowadays it is the Apollo Theater and the Palladium Theater. Here I watched Disney’s Tarzan, which I can absolutely recommend.

Heidelberg (2016)

German Youth Hostels are a great place to stay, when you want to meet new people. On this way, I met Hisham and Javier, who both started to work in Germany. As I currently spent an intership at Daimler in Sindelfingen, I had to head down to Heidelberg for a visit and in return they would come to visit me in Stuttgart. It was a very nice visit and they showed me basically every corner of this beautiful city. We even took the funicular up to the Heidelberg Castle, where we spent some time exploring the old buildings and the garden.
