Geographical location
The Heuchelberg and the south of the river Zaber subsequent Stromberg each eponymous part of the 1980 founded the Stromberg-Heuchelberg , the third nature park in Baden-Wuerttemberg.

It is located in the areas of these cities and municipalities (starting clockwise in the northeast): Leingarten, Nordheim , Brackenheim , Güglingen , Pfaffenhofen and Zaberfeld (in the southwest) and Eppingen (only with the Kleingartach district ), Schwaigern and finally Leingarten again.
Landscape image
Like the Stromberg , the Heuchelberg is a Keuper island created by a relief reversal in a loess setting. Its highest elevation is a heaped summit on the Heuchelberg landfill ( 353 m above sea level ), with which an abandoned missile position of the US armed forces was grounded. The highest natural elevation is Heidelberg ( 335.9 m above sea level ) east of the town of Neipperg, which belongs to the city of Brackenheim .
Due to the weathering and erosion of the reed sandstone , the ceiling of the Heuchelberg shows a plateau (on average around 300 m above sea level ) with sharply formed slope edges that tapers towards the east. In the north, the Ottilienberg ( 313.6 m above sea level ) with its ring wall forms an oval high plateau. The ridge and the northern slopes of the Heuchelberg are predominantly forested, the southern slopes are mostly used for viticulture .
