The Salmendinger Chapel is a place of pilgrimage on the Kornbühl .

The foundation of the mountain is a limestone layer 40 meters thick, called Weißjura Beta according to the classification of the Tuebingen geologist Friedrich August von Quenstedt . Above it lies a 40–50 meter high marl layer (Weißjura Gamma) before the summit of the Kornbühl ends with the mass limestone formed from sponge reefs (Weißjura Delta). This layer proves to be particularly resistant to erosion .

In some years when the snow melts, a temporary lake, the Märzenbronnen, is created at the foot of the Kornbühl .

Nature reserve

Around 1900 the mountain was hardly forested due to grazing . Today it is the task of nature conservation to protect the open spaces from succession . Since June 15, 1983, the 11.6 hectare nature reserve on the Kornbühl has protected the vegetation complex of juniper heather , semi -arid grassland and thorn bushes, as well as their species-rich flora and fauna, typical of the southern slopes of the Swabian Alb, which are grazed with sheep . The conical shape of the mountain is the starting point for the orientation in all directions and thus different microclimatic conditions. This enabled a large number of plant communities to develop. Around 200 plant species and almost 350 animal species have been identified around the Kornbühl, including 15 grasshopper and 29 butterfly species.
