On the Wartberg in Heilbronn, the Schilfsandstein rock formation, part of the Stuttgart Formation, is clearly visible. This geological formation dates back to the Triassic period and is approximately 225 million years old—a true window into Earth's history!

Here you will find a naturally formed edge. It stretches to the Lemppruhe, a viewpoint towards Weinsberg. At the Jägerhaus, the sandstone was mined industrially in a former quarry.
