The Rammert is up to 593.9 m above sea level. NHN high, wooded ridge of the Keuper Hills in central Baden-Württemberg , which belongs to the natural spatial main unit Schönbuch and Glemswald in the Swabian Keuper-Lias-Land .

geography
location
The Rammert stretches about 18 km in length from Rangendingen in the southwest to Tübingen in the northeast and is widest between Rottenburg am Neckar in the Neckar valley accompanying it on the left and Ofterdingen on the right on the Alb foreland with 7 km across It is bounded by the Neckar valley in the north-west and north, the Steinlachtal in the north-east and the Starzel valley in the south-west . In the northeast it tapers off, making it roughly wedge-shaped.
The highest point is the Hohwacht between Rangendingen and Bodelshausen at 593.9 m , followed by the Langen First near Hirrlingen with a height of 557.5 m and the 555.7 m high Lausbühl not far from the Schadenweilerhof near Rottenburg.
The valleys of Krebsbach , Katzenbach and Vorbach / Bühlertalbach, running west-northwest to east-northeast , structure the Rammert strongly. As part of the south-west German layered landscape , the Rammert slopes slightly to the south-east and forms a prominent step around 100 to 150 meters high on the Neckartal edge.
The elevation of the Höhenburg Weilerburg ( 555 m ) in front of the Rammert in the north is his witness mountain . The south-east roof on the opposite side is flatter. There the Rammert gradually merges into the foothills of the Alb formed by the rocks of the Black and Brown Jura .
Natural allocation
The ridge forms the natural area Rammert (104.11) in the natural spatial main unit group Swabian Keuper-Lias-Land (No. 10), in the main unit Schönbuch and Glemswald (104) and in the sub-unit Schönbuch (104.1 ).
The landscape falls to the north into the natural area of Tübingen step edge bay (104.10), which leads through the Neckar valley area near Tübingen to the natural areas of Südlicher Schönbuch (104.12) and Walddorfer Platten (104.13). In the northeast, in the subunit Central Foreland of the Middle Swabian Alb (101.2), the natural area Echaz-Alb foreland (101.20) joins and in the east to southeast in the subunit west wing of the Middle Alb Foreland (101.1) the natural area Die Steinlach (101.10), each form part of the main unit foreland of the central Swabian Alb (101). In the south-west the natural area The Keuperrandhügel of the Kleiner Heuberg (100.20) joins, which belongs to the subunit Central Part of the Western Alb foreland (100.2) in the main unit foreland of the western Swabian Alb (100) . In the west is the sub-unit Eyach-Gäuplatten (122.3), which belongs to the main unit group Neckar- and Tauber-Gäuplatten (12) to the main unit Obere Gäue (122).
Nature, protected areas
The Rammert is mainly forested because of its unfavorable sandy and clay soils for arable farming. Its forests are used intensively for forestry purposes. The main tree species are common beech , spruce , Scots pine and oak . Extensive wet meadows only cover parts of the valleys.
The Rammert is an important local recreation area , which is why the landscape protection areas Rammert with 3,616 hectares and Rauher Rammert with 2,303 hectares have been designated. The Katzenbachtal, which separates the two areas, has been under nature protection under the name Katzenbach-Dünnbachtal since December 19, 1996 because of its special natural features with an area of 121.3 hectares .
The Bühlertal in the northwest of the Rammert is a meadow valley undisturbed by roads and settlements, in which the Vorbach and its lower reaches of the Bühlertalbach meander naturally and large areas are occupied by flowery wet meadows. For many years its existence was threatened by a dam project . Under the name of Bühler Tal und Unterer Bürg , it has also been a nature reserve with 84.3 hectares since March 10, 1993.
Overlaying the nature and landscape protection areas, parts of the Rammert belong to the 2,860 hectare FFH area Rammert . There is also a European bird sanctuary (SPA area) in the northern part under the name Mittlerer Rammert .
tourism
The Rammert is sometimes referred to as the Schönbuch's “little brother” . Similar to there, there are also well-marked hiking trails in Rammert, for example from Rottenburg to Tübingen or Mössingen . There are several hiking parks and forest playgrounds with campfire sites and shelters on the Rammertrand.
Others
The hurricane Lothar sat in December 1999, severe damage to the forests of Rammert.
In Rammert near Bodelshausen there is a NATO tank farm that was put back into operation in 2006.
