The Scheuerberg (Schuire - Scheuwer - Scheune or Schûre - Schauer) is 306 m high and 350 m long. It is a so-called witness mountain and stands as the last, western foothill of the Löwenstein Mountains, visible from afar. It consists of Keuper marl and a layer of Letten coal that begins at a depth of 150 m. The actual, obligatory cover layer (of reed sandstone) is missing. It was probably removed to obtain building material for the castle and town. It has two "forehills" north of the Hohberg and south of the Hasenbiegel. It acquired its current form through the vineyard reorganization process (1967–1996), during which the hill was radically redesigned. It is THE local mountain of the people of Neckarsulm and closely linked to the town's history.
