Geography

The Teckberg jumps from Swabian Jura edge from about 3 km towards the north front and overlooks the Albvorland to 350 m, the Lauter (Neckar) valley to 400 m. He is flanked of the approximately 602 m high foothills Hörnle and Hohenbol north and northwest. Both Foothills include smokestacks of the Swabian volcano. North below the Hörnle is the glider area Teck (between Dettingen unter Teck and Bissingen an der Teck). The slope of the Teckberg formed by the Yellow Rock, a Schwammriff the Jura sea of bright lime. Under the "Gelber Fels", is the 31 m long and 45 m high Veronikahöhle, which is connected through columns with Verena-Beutlins-Loch. East of the Gelber Fels (Yellow Rock) three grave mounds indicate from the Hallstatt period (800-400 BC) the early settlement of the Teckberg. Under the castle Teck is the 35 m long and 9 m high fabled Sibyllenloch, on the other side the 22 m long Sibyllenhöhle. It was only in 1937 discovered during construction work and was explored in 1977. During excavations in Sibyllenloch 1898/99 over 2,000 skeletal remains of cave bear, cave lion, cave hyena and wild horse were found. So many conclusions about the glacial fauna could be drawn.

Nature Reserve

With regulation of the Regierungspräsidium Stuttgart from 9 November 1999, the entire Teckberg with an area of 386.0 hectares was reported as nature reserve. It was managed to preserve and promote an unusually varied cultural landscape with wet and dry meadows, orchards, hedges, forest fringes, alleys, groves, solitary trees, rocks, caves, springs and rare natural forest communities. These habitats provide a quality habitat for a variety of partly endangered plant and animal species. In the versatile natural area botanists could show 464 different plant species.
