You can pick strawberries in the area, and the season has just started.
We found a nice place to pick between Holzgerlingen and Schönaich. You drive down to Holzgerlingen, then as you’re almost out of the town, there’s a sign to Schönaich. Follow that, and the Weippert signs start showing up once you’re well out of town. The small strawberry field is to the right as you drive towards Schönaich.
Bring your own bucket/bowls. There are some there, but it’s not a big operation. Price is Eur 2.20 per kilo.
There were plenty of berries to be had, and on this Sunday morning, it wasn’t busy at all. We never had more than one other family with us. They have a small section marked for picking and will tell you once you’re there.
These berries are fresh and delicious, although I believe they will taste better in a week. Enjoy!
