Berneck is the geographical historical name for the upper course of the Schiltach from Tennenbronn to the confluence of the Lauterbach in Schramberg. The Berneck valley itself is the gorge-like narrowing of the Berneck valley between the castle ruins of Berneck ( ⊙ ) and Falkenstein ( ⊙ ) , which is only about 4 km long . The Berneckal is a protected landscape area.

The name Berneck was used in the official Wuerttemberg cartography and is partly to be found today on official maps. From a geographical perspective, the course of the Schiltach from its source in Langenschiltach to the confluence of the Lauterbach in Schramberg am Bruckbeck is called Berneck. This name goes back to territorial-historical processes, the Berneck was, so to speak, the central geographical line of the Falkensteiner rule. The Berneckal was ruled in the early Middle Ages by the castles Berneck , Ramstein and Falkenstein of the Lords of Falkenstein .

The name Berneck is still used in Schramberg for the upper course of the Berneck. The Berneckstraße in Schramberg, which runs directly on the banks of the Berneck, is named after the Berneck, the same applies to the Berneckschule in Schramberg.
