Knillberg

Highlight • Summit

The Knillberg is a hilltop overgrown with green on the southern edge of the Steinheim Basin. On the idyllic meadows you have a good chance of meeting an Alb shepherd with his herd.

nice corner, elevated with a view towards Steinheim. Sontheim, Heidenheim
But if you want to cycle towards Heidenheim: there are many steep steps or a steep gravel path at the end of the hill (caution)

Wäldlesfels Rock Formation

Highlight • Natural Monument

When you drive past below, you can't see the rock. It's quite impressive considering the entire basin was once a lake.
