The Scheuelberg is completely forested. From its plateau, there are only two places where you can enjoy a view: the East Rock viewpoint and the High Rock (West Rock) viewpoint.

November 13, 2025,Blick auf die Kaiserberge – Teufelsklinge Wasserfall Runde von Heubach
A truly beautiful day hike that I undertook on a sunny late autumn day. What I particularly enjoyed about this wonderful tour were the lovely sections of nature trails, the fantastic views from the Bargauer Horn towards the Eastern Swabian Alps, the beautiful hiking sections across the Scheuelberg (gorgeous beech forests), the views of the Three Emperors Mountains, and the …

A circular tour near Heubach. Very beautiful trails on the Scheuelberg. Caution is advised on the way to Jakobshöhle, as the path is very steep and runs right along the edge.

With such glorious weather you just have to get out: Today we were out and about in Beuren (Heubach). The route runs almost 100% through forest or on forest paths. From the hill you always have beautiful views of the valley. Was fun!
Thanks to Stefan, who had already published the route in Komoot.

A really great round of the Ostalb. Lots of forest and a number of beautiful views, plus a few small caves and alpine paths, the "via ferrata" to the high rock and the optional detour to the Teufelsklinge. The highest point of the tour was the inconspicuous Rechberger Buch (767m). Everything was fine, the only downer was the traffic noise …

Top weather, frosty in places, but a fantastic view from the Bargauer Horn, plus small climbing passages and insights into the underworld on the Scheuelberg. And a nice stop at the end - in short: a top hiking day!

We already ran this tour in October 2021 and changed it a little. We, as hosts, should lead the hiking group through this beautiful area in November. We had such bad weather back then that we went on a Plan B tour. So this tour was ready and virgin for today...
In the meantime we have partly forgotten how beautiful …

Today's route offered everything, but we were spared the rain...
Partly on the slippery and narrow paths and a few downed trees, especially in one spot, it was almost perfect today.

After a frosty night, a hint of ice had settled everywhere and was more visible in the open areas.
The banks of fog lay like large blankets over the expanse. But clear skies and the rising sun did the rest...
The first climb was like a cardio program after a hard week. With the "Oh, sh*t... We're going up there …
