The Knillberg is a hilltop overgrown with green on the southern edge of the Steinheim Basin. On the idyllic meadows you have a good chance of meeting an Alb shepherd with his herd.

The geological peculiarity of the Steinheim Basin, which was created by a meteorite impact 15 million years ago, can be clearly seen here.
