Protected areas
As early as July 31, 1939, an area of 665 hectares on the Degenfeld and Waldstetten markings was placed under landscape protection. On November 4, 1974, the Stuttgart Regional Council integrated these areas into a newly designated landscape protection area from Kaltes Feld to Rosenstein . This new protected area extends over two districts. In the Ostalb district there are 2,887 hectares under the protection area number 1.36.021 and in the district of Göppingen 94 hectares (protection area number 1.17.049).
On December 23, 1994, the regional council of Stuttgart also assigned the protected area no. 1205 the nature reserve Kaltes Feld with Hornberg, Galgenberg and Eierberg , because it saw the local "extremely diverse landscape with extensive juniper heaths, small heather areas, near-natural forest areas, meadows and arable land as an ecologically particularly high-quality landscape". (The Eierberg is located east of the Kalten Feld on the Albtrauf .) The nature reserve is also located in the Ostalbkreis and the district of Göppingen and is 634.4 hectares in size.
