View and memory of the many victims on the Bossler. Horrible stories have happened here. This is probably because the Alb ascent begins here and the Bossler is so close to the autobahn. The planes orientate themselves in the fog on the highway and crash into the mountain. Fortunately, there are better ways to navigate today.

Hiking

The Boßler is a prominent mountain in the Swabian Alps near Gruibingen, rising to 794.7 meters above sea level. From its vantage point on the edge of the Alb plateau, a sweeping view opens up across the Alb foothills – on a clear day, this extends far to the west. A large memorial cross also stands here, commemorating several tragic aircraft crashes that have occurred in the region since the 1940s.
