hi, i am in stuttgart, but i'm sooo bored. i've already seen most things and now i'm looking for things to do that are pretty much free and kill lots of time. i'm pretty much on my own every day until evening is why.
is there a hiking path i can do? like 3 or 4 hours worth of walking? actually, i would love a path inside the city that just stretches for kms and kms.

Stuttgarter Stäffele (Stairways)

At least you can choose out of the languages German and Swabian.
The site shows the most famous out of the 400 Stäffele in Stuttgart. From the sportive point of view: a real challenge.

According to the text free and also available in English at the Stuttgart Tourist Info. They may have even more material on this.
Those walks are quite good. And when you have done them all, you can take the S-Bahn and go to the outskirts of Stuttgart and do more walks, for example in the vineyards around Weinstadt, or from Weissach, or from Untertürkheim to Esslingen, and there are dozens of nice tracks "auf den Fildern" (area around Leinfelden-Echterdingen).
You get brochures of the city walks at the info centre in Königstraße (opposite the railway station, on the left side when you take the pedestrian underground crossing from the railway station), and you get hiking maps for the region in bookshops.
Stuttgart is surrounded by some of the most lucious green valleys anywhere on the banks of the Neckar River. It is the capital of the German state of Baden-Wurttemberg and is one of the country's most industrialized cities. There are dozens of major publishing houses here as well as more famously, the Porsche and Mercedes-Benz headquarters. This is a picture of the city's finest square in front of the Royal Palace.
Künzelsau is a town of 14,699 people located 92 km northeast of Stuttgart and 123 km west of Nürnberg.
The name means Cunzilio's (Conrad's) meadow -- not his sow, as I used to think before I realized where the syllables should be divided.
Actually I wasn't the only one who had this problem. Early versions of German hyphenation and spelling programs for PCs in the 1980s and 90s had huge problems deciding where to divide the syllables. It wasn't easy to teach computers that the correct division was Künzels-au (meadow) and not Künzel-sau (sow).
It was a somewhat gloomy day in February when I was there, but I had a look around at the picturesque old half-timbered houses before doing my presentation at the Adult Education Center (vhs).
Second photo: The old City Hall, built in 1522 after a devastating city fire in 1519. This was actually used as the seat of the city council and administration until 1989.
I wish Mexican food was as popular in England as on the Continent. Everywhere we've been in the Netherlands and Germany at least we have found Mexican restaurants in the most unlikely places which all seem hugely popular.
This one is part of a chain apparently and the prices were not a bargain, but we had a beer, salad and tasty chicken mole with the usual accompaniments for 15 euro per person in September 2004.
The Old Castle was a residence of Duke of the land in Middle Ages. The first building was here in X century and present view dates back to XVI century. In the picture you see a castle court. There is a castle clock in the roof. Nowadays the castle is museum of Land Baden Wurttemberg.
The Krautfest is every year at the weekend of the 3rd sundy of October (17./18. Oct 2009).
