Protected areas

Parts of the landscape protection area Schönbuch ( CDDA -Nr. 324242; designated 1967; 67.1643  km² ), the Fauna-Flora-Habitat- Area Schönbuch (FFH-Nr. 7420-341; 112.4713 km²) and the Bird sanctuary Schönbuch (VSG No. 7420-441; 153.6203 km²).

Geological nature trail Kirnberg and Olgahain

The Kirnberg Geological Trail is around 3 km long and was laid out in 1977 for the 500th anniversary of the University of Tübingen . The deposits of the south-west German Keuper bergland ( claystone , marl and sandstone ) are explained on 13 panels and the geology of the Tübingen area is described. The path extends from the Keuper sediments of the lower colored marl to the area of ​​younger Keuper deposits ( silica sandstone , upper colored marl , Stubensandstein , tuber marl and Rhätsandstein ).

On the southern flank of the Kirnberg, surrounded by the nature trail, lies the Olgahain above the confluence of the Kirnbach and the Goldersbach . This mixture of forest landscape and park was created at the instigation of Karl Friedrich Alexander von Württemberg and named after his wife Olga Nikolajewna Romanowa (1822-1892) .
