If you are out and about in Heuchelberg, perhaps you have already climbed the Hörnle, then you should also have been to the unspectacular summit of Heidelberg (336 m) (wooden board on a tree). The forest administration gives the Heidelberg as the highest point of the Heuchelberg. The absolute highest point, however, is the heaped earth dump mountain near Haberschlacht with 353 m.

Heuchelberg Summit (353 m)

Highlight • Summit

The "artificial" created summit is the highest Heuchelberg elevation and was created by the landfill as a landfill of the district of Heilbronn. Below that was the "Heuchelberg" rocket launch base. If you come from the south, there is an information board about the former missile base before the ascent. Unfortunately, once you have reached the somewhat hidden marker stone, there is no view as the area around it has been recultivated and overgrown.

At 310 meters above sea level, you have a fantastic view of Neckarsulm and the surrounding area from the Scheuerberg. In the Middle Ages, the Scheuerberg Castle was located on the mountain. However, after the Peasants' War in 1525, the castle was not repaired. In 1974 a huge stone wall of the former castle complex was exposed. For historians, this is possible evidence that the castle on the Scheuerberg was possibly the most powerful of the numerous castles in the Heilbronn area.

The Scheuerberg (Schuire - Scheuwer - Scheune or Schûre - Schauer) is 306 m high and 350 m long. It is a so-called witness mountain and stands as the last, western foothill of the Löwenstein Mountains, visible from afar. It consists of Keuper marl and a layer of Letten coal that begins at a depth of 150 m. The actual, obligatory cover layer (of reed sandstone) is missing. It was probably removed to obtain building material for the castle and town. It has two "forehills" north of the Hohberg and south of the Hasenbiegel. It acquired its current form through the vineyard reorganization process (1967–1996), during which the hill was radically redesigned. It is THE local mountain of the people of Neckarsulm and closely linked to the town's history.

The Scheuerberg near Neckarsulm in the Heilbronn district is an approximately 310-meter-high elevation in the Sulm mountain plain. In the Middle Ages, Scheuerberg Castle stood on the summit of the Scheuerberg, but it was not rebuilt after the Peasants' War around 1525. Today, the Scheuerberg is a popular hiking destination, offering fantastic views of Neckarsulm and the surrounding area. The hiking trails around the Scheuerberg are well signposted and offer varying levels of difficulty, so both beginners and experienced hikers will find something to suit their needs.

At the foot of the Schweinsberg Tower there is a lovely barbecue area with a table and benches. Here you can relax and fill your stomach.

From the tower you have a great 360 degree panoramic view of the surrounding area. Currently there is a radio antenna next to the tower, which is not so attractive.
