The line runs from Stuttgart station to the south through the Filder Tunnel and surface southwest of Stuttgart-Plieningen near
Stuttgart Airport and the
A8 autobahn. It then runs to the east parallel with the A8 on its north side for about 10 kilometres to the Denkendorf service area. Between
Denkendorf and
Neuhausen the line runs under the A 8 in a
Denkendorf Tunnel and then runs parallel with it on its south side to the southeast. On the western abutment of the Neckar Bridge at Wendlingen the line becomes the proposed Wendlingen–Ulm high-speed line.
