When you have left the small town of Schlichten behind you, you have great views of the Swabian Alb and the Remstal. On this plateau in the virgin forest, it suddenly makes perfect sense where the place got its name from. Schlichten is derived from the Middle High German "slithe" and means level.

In good weather, great views of both the Remstal and the Alb.

On the Schurwald Höhe near Lichtenberg and Hohengehren you often have a really beautiful view.
