    From here you have an impressive view of the steeply sloping wall of the Mössinger landslide - and of course the hilly landscape of the Swabian Jura.

      A brilliant view of the Steinlachtal and Mössingen - right on the edge of the slope - danger of falling!

        Here you can experience the geological development of the Alb in fast motion. A large part of the slide area on the Hirschkopf, which is also part of the UNESCO GeoPark Swabian Alb and is one of the few national geotopes, is under nature protection. On April 12, 1983, the largest and most spectacular mountain slide in the Alb to date occurred on the Albtrauf above Mössingen. Within a few hours, millions of tons of earth and rock went down into the valley. Over the years, the resulting “primeval landscape” has developed into a refuge for many animal and plant species. Today the area is a nature reserve.
