One path goes along the forest, parallel to it a second over the juniper heath. Benches are set up at the viewpoints.

The Schafberg belongs to the Balingen Mountains and is located in the northernmost part of the Upper Danube Nature Park. It is surrounded by the villages of Roßwangen, Weilstetten (both districts of Balingen), Tieringen (district of Meßstetten) and Hausen am Tann. Neighboring mountains are the Plettenberg 1001.7 m and the Lochenstein 963.6 m, with them it is connected via narrow mountain saddles.
Like the Plettenberg, the Schafberg is also a mountain range with several secondary peaks, including Hoher Fels 996.5 m, Gespaltener Fels 999.3 m and Wenzelstein 954.4 m, on which there is a castle ruin. The high plateau is mainly forested with spruce, mountain pine, sycamore maple and limestone beech, there are also forest-free areas with the typical limestone mountain meadows and juniper heaths. The latter arose from the sheep farm, which has played an important role on the Schafberg for centuries and to which it probably owes its name. The high plateau drops steeply and rocky on almost all sides. An original natural landscape has been preserved in the rocky area. Plants that have become rare, such as hawkweed, rock hunger flowers or rue, find their optimal habitat here. It is essential to stay on the paths and trails so that the wonderful flora and fauna are not destroyed. 🤩👍

Magnificent view of the Plettenberg with its telecommunications tower and of the "battered mountain", the quarry on Plettenberg.

You don't have to go that far. There are (almost) many beautiful things on your doorstep. You just have to see it. So also the Schafberg and the wide view of the foothills of the Alb amidst pine trees.

The quarry is a little further away.

Those who visit the Lochen should take the time to hike to the Schafberg. The split mountain with its passages and crevices is worth the walk. After a closer inspection, you can still take a look over the surrounding land. In the south, always along the beautiful eaves, is the Plettenberg, easily recognizable by its tower. Past pines and rocks you can see new destinations that are worth heading for.

From here you can see the lower quarry.
This is not possible from the viewing platform at the Plettenberg quarry.
