04/50 Römerstrasse

Römerstrasse is one of Stuttgart's steepest roads, starting at the valley bottom and leading 1,4km and ~ 150m uphill. In several places the road turns into flights of steps as in the photo where 116 steps end at a house with the number 116! The steps are actually quite nicely graded, the road that follows is much worse;-)

The steps seen from the top:

Interessant die Sache mit 116. Hat der Name Römerstraße etwas mit den alten Römern zu tun... ?

17 months ago.

Gudrun ^club has replied to ©UdoSm ^club

Herzlichen Dank, Udo! Das mit den 116 stand in einem interessanten Artikel der Stuttgarter Zeitung, leider hinter der Bezahlschranke, sodass ich nicht verlinken kann. Wo der Name herkommt, dazu habe ich nichts gefunden, kann auch nach jemandem namens Römer benannt sein, denn die bekannten römischen Überreste sind am Neckar in Bad Cannstatt...

Oh the grand old Duke of York
He had ten thousand men.
He marched them up to the top of the hill
Then marched them down again.

The Grand Old Duke of York

I would have been puffed out walking up these steps, and my knees would be aching on the way down.

hFF, Gudrun

Gudrun ^club has replied to Amelia ^club

Thanks a lot, Amelia! Haha, the tempo of the Old Duke would have been too fast for me going up;-) I did puff and use any pretext to stop and admire the view.... But down is actually worse, after the steps there is a very steep road where I either go zigzags or even walk backwards....

Keith Burton ^club

The walk up and down seems like very hard work Gudrun................and I doubt I could make it all the way up and down again nowadays :-(. Stopping to take photos is a good excuse to get a breather though.

Two very nicely composed shots.............with excellent leading lines and full of super detail.

17 months ago.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Keith Burton ^club

Thanks a lot, Keith! The good thing is that you can take the way down (or up) by rack railway, one of only 4 in Germany- and it's part of normal public transport:-)
