Fortifying the light against medieval shadows
Between Kielmeyerhaus and the New Town Hall (Neues Rathaus) and then up above from the Small Market (Kleiner Markt) one can discover two ways up to Esslinger Burg: the one, more difficult, with the more than one hundred steps of the castle and the other, the easier one, through the vineyards.
Always choose the hard way to climb up: the gradual unfolding of Neckar valley and of the town's overview as you move upper step by step is gorgeous... While using the easy path down to the core of the Old Town, don't fail to drop a glance behind: the mass of this tower will keep the shadows away for you - meant in any way to be the remains of the outer fortification for the town of Esslingen to the north (first mentioned in 1314).

Esslingen am Neckar is situated in Baden-Württermberg (Schwabia), in south-west Germany, just a 15-minute S-Bahn ride from the main railway station of Stuttgart. It is maybe the only town in the larger area of Stuttgart still maintaining its original medieval core and having almost totally survived intact the World War II.
