The view from the Wartberg Tower on Heilbronn's Wartberg hill is simply spectacular. 🌄. At the top of the tower, you'll enjoy panoramic views in all directions. 🌃 At night, the light sculpture "Sunbeam for Heilbronn" glows in the city's colors—white by day, red and blue by night.

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 Wartberg (308 meters) with its lookout tower and the "open-air museum" Weinpanoramaweg is a popular destination in the midst of the typical Heilbronn vineyard landscape. Since 2002, the light sculpture “Sunbeam for Heilbronn” by the Dutch artist Jan van Munster has been shining in the city colors on the roof of the Wartberg Tower; white during the day, red and blue at night.
