Stuttgart

In the Northern part of Black Forest lies a very popular ASTUR Center: Stuttgart. The city is considered one of the biggest towns of tranquil "Swabia", close to the river Rhine and the French border. It is the ideal destination for all those who are looking for a combination of stunning nature and modern technology. Not only can you discover the local environment, you also enjoy tours through world-famous automotive museums such as Porsche and Mercedes Benz, as their origins lie here.

Stuttgart/Esslingen Center

The ASTUR Center in Stuttgart is located only a short distance to the west of the state capital of Baden-Wuerttemberg. The city is especially appealing to fans of German cars and car engines. One of the many reasons for this is the fact that Gottlieb Daimler, who invented the car engine we know today, was born here. Until today, Mercedes and Porsche cars are manufactured in the area. Besides, trips to the northern Black Forest foothills give your trip to Stuttgart a nice variety. In the wooded foothills you can escape the loud business for a while.
