      The Heuchelberger Warte is a former watchtower in the Heilbronn district that now serves as a lookout tower. It lies at 315 m above sea level. NN at the eastern tip of the Heuchelberg ridge and offers a view over large parts of the Württemberg lowlands. When the weather is good, you can supposedly see a distance of up to 80 km from here. The panoramic view extends from the Stuttgart television tower to the Heidelberg Königsstuhl.

      The slender, round tower was built in 1483 under the Württemberg Count Eberhard im Bart. It served as the western cornerstone of the "Württemberg Landgraben", a border wall that then formed Württemberg's northern border and sealed off the Neckar valley between Heuchelberg and Löwensteiner Bergen over a length of 23 km. The view that the tower offered over large areas of the lowlands was used to monitor the border. When Württemberg expanded north in 1805, the land moat lost its importance and was leveled. Since the tower never played a significant role in military conflicts, it fell into disrepair over the following centuries.
      It was only at the end of the 19th century that the importance of the tower was remembered, but no longer as a observation tower but as a viewing tower. With donations from the municipality of Großgartach, in whose district the tower was located, it was renovated or rebuilt in its current form in 1897/98 in collaboration with the Heilbronn local group of the Swabian Alb Association and was also raised slightly in the process. In 1952 another renovation took place.

        An attractive destination, the Heuchelberg. But the effort of the tough climb is worth it. There is good food and great weather when the weather is good.
