        The Zeller Horn (912.7 m above sea level) is a mountain on the municipal boundary of Hechingen and Albstadt-Onstmettingen on the Albtrauf, the steep slope of the Swabian Alb.

        It was named after the settlement of Zell, which was abandoned in the 15th century and is located in the area of today's Hechingen district of Boll. Of this settlement, only the pilgrimage church of Maria Zell, located below the Zeller Horn on the former site of Zell Castle, remains. As a narrow spur of the Alb plateau in front of the Raichberg, the Zeller Horn offers views of Hohenzollern Castle, which stands beyond a saddle in front of its spur on the Zeugenberg Hohenzollern, and the Alb foothills. On a clear day, the view extends as far as the Feldberg in the Black Forest and the greater Stuttgart area. On the western slope of the mountain lies the 4.4-hectare Zellerhorn meadow, designated a nature reserve on February 14, 1950. It was originally used as a wood meadow from Onstmettingen, and its flora is similar to the poor grassland of the wood meadows on the Irrenberg. The contrast between the wooded slopes of the Zeller Horn is also interesting: the southern slope features the highest oak-steppe heath forest in the Swabian Alb, while the shady northern slope contains the typical fir-beech forest of the southwestern Alb. The nature reserve, located at an altitude of 840 to 900 m, is home to a wide variety of plants, including the many-leaved lousewort, the sweet-scented hagwort, and the mountain gallinule, as well as the plant communities of the bluegrass calcareous grasslands and the montane golden oat meadows.

        The Zellerhorn Meadow is also part of the 1,519-hectare FFH area no. 7719341, "Areas around Albstadt," and the 43,031-hectare bird sanctuary no. 7820441, "Southwest Alb and Upper Danube Valley."
