The Stuttgart 1000 is a trail route in the center of Stuttgart. It connects the inner city to forest singletrack and climbs 1,000 meters over a route longer than a half marathon.
Start at Marienplatz (alternative: Wangener Landhausstraße station). The streets end. You enter the hills. Singletrack sections reach alpine-grade difficulty. Expect steep, technical descents and trail beds that stay slick through dry spells.
The route passes the telecommunication tower, the radio tower, and the Stuttgart Television Tower. You run centuries-old paths, vineyard tracks, and the city's outdoor staircases (Stäffele). You see the city basin below you the whole time.
