Been here?
This hiking parking lot offers views over the Rhine plain and a pleasant walkway to a lookout tower. Overnight stays are generally quiet, although hikers use the area in the morning and evening, and cars may fill it during the day. The parking is free, has a rubbish bin, and is slightly sloping; the maximum vehicle length is 5.40 meters. The forest, walks, occasional wildlife, and some motorway noise surround the site.

Good parking for one night, very quiet. Lots of hikers passing in the evening and morning, but nobody said anything about us sleeping there.Translating
Super spot for a quiet night in the middle of nature, far from any houses.Translating
Plenty of room. We have large truck camper. Great walks and views. So grateful!!
Very busy with cars during the day. Maximum 5.40 metres.Translating
We spent one night here from Saturday to Sunday while passing through. Very quiet and beautifully located, and great with dogs too. Bins available.Translating
Very nice car park, almost level. Usually plenty of space in the evening, but now on Sunday afternoon it was completely full of cars because it is a popular outing destination for people from Karlsruhe. Beautiful view over the Rhine plain. Free, unlike the other pitch at the swimming pool in Ettlingen, which is also much noisier. No residents park here, only day-trippers. Huge campers should go to the industrial area or the motorway.Translating
Only park here with a VW bus or rooftop tent; anything else is outrageous. I drove on with my 6-metre vehicle. View of a nuclear power plant in the distance.Translating
Recommended spot, especially with a dog. The forest is right in front of you.Translating
If you are longer than 5.5 m and can therefore only park across the spaces, you should stay only overnight and leave early in the morning depending on availability. A large Rewe supermarket is reachable on foot in about 10–15 minutes. Slightly sloped; the motorway can be heard a little, and there are sometimes some wild animals.Translating
The residents' displeasure is growing when all the parking spaces are inconsiderately occupied and locals can no longer find a place to park for hiking and walking. A little consideration would be appropriate.Translating
Please help keep the place available in the long term. It is too beautiful to be closed as well. The residents are tolerant as long as we are. Unfortunately, I increasingly see people blocking the area by parking across the spaces with completely oversized vehicles. Today there was a vehicle over 12 metres long. There was no room for campers or for residents to walk their dogs in the morning. Show respect and park properly, or stay home.Translating
We spent one night here. It was very quiet and pleasant. Because of the trees all around, you do not feel watched by the residents.Translating
Quiet pitch at the beginning of a walking and hiking trail. Lovely!Translating
