The Heersberg with its juniper heath is part of the "Felsenmeersteig" eaves walk with a view of the neighboring Schalksburg.

Heersberg

The Heersberg (964.4 m above sea level NHN) is an elevation of the southwestern Swabian Jura near Albstadt. It is surrounded by the Albstadt districts of Margrethausen, Lautlingen, Laufen an der Eyach and Burgfelden. The Eyach, a right tributary of the Neckar, flows around the Heersberg from the north to the northwest. Due to the strong erosion effect of the Eyach and its tributaries, the Heersberg together with the neighboring plateau of Burgfelden is now completely isolated from the rest of the Alb plateau, one speaks here of a resident.

Its mostly tree-free high plateau is characterized by extensive juniper heath. On the forested steep slopes of the Heersberg there is mostly rocky terrain.

In the years 1940/1941 German mountain troops of the 4th Mountain Division (Gentian Division) were set up in the area. A section of the hiking trail from Lautlingen to Heersberg is still called the Muliweg because the mountain troops had to use this steep Albaufstieg almost every day with their Mulis during their training. A memorial stone on the high plateau commemorates the Muliweg and the Gentian division.

Remains of Heersberg Castle can be found 200 meters north of the Heersberg viewpoint.
