Schönbuch

Schönbuch is an almost completely wooded area south west of Stuttgart and part of the Southern German Escarpment Landscape (German: südwestdeutsches Schichtstufenland). In 1972 the centre zone of Schönbuch became the first nature park in Baden-Württemberg.

A geological trail is located in Schönbuch nature park at Kirnberg[1] and was created in 1977 on the 500th anniversary of the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen. Several panels explain the sediments of the Keuper highland (shale, marl and sandstone) and the development of the Kirnbach valley. Today the 156 km² large reserve is referred to as Schönbuch whereas the original, more comprehensive area is usually called Schönbuch-Region.

Schönbuch nature park is an important recreational area of the Stuttgart Region, also because it is only intersected by relatively few roads .

A commuter train called the Schönbuchbahn runs through Schönbuch, connecting Dettenhausen to Böblingen where it connects with the S-Bahn system.

gollark: The most plausible one for me is obviously 11 due to SQLite.

gollark: 18 was totally* not mine, and so wasn't 15/16.
