The district has long been linked to growing wine. Understand the importance of wine in the region by taking a trip to the various taverns, such as Weingut Gerhard Zaiß and Weingut Hans-Peter Wöhrwag.

The outer part of the district is made up of vineyards and parkland. Ascend the scenic Württemberg Hill to reach the Württemberg Mausoleum.

Admire the neoclassical columns and pediment, beneath a light blue dome. Snap photos of the surrounding vineyards from this vantage point.

Climb down the hill to find yourself in the quaint hamlet of Rotenberg and admire the 18th-century village church. In summer, bring your kids west to try the slides of the Inselbad Untertürkheim outdoor pool, which stands between two tributaries of the Neckar River.
