View The Roßberg, together with the Roßfeld, forms the furthest promontory of the Swabian Alb. Accordingly, the view of the Alb escarpment extends in two directions: To the northeast, first to the Pfullinger Berg with the Gielsberg, then to Wanne and Schönberg, onward to the Urselberg, and finally to the Achalm, Teck, and, in the far distance, to the Hohenstaufen. To the southwest lies the Filsenberg with the Meisenbühl on top, in close proximity, above it the Farrenberg, to the left of which is the Hirschkopf with its massive landslide, then the Dreifürstenstein – followed by Hohenzollern with the Raichberg – and finally, as the last mountain range, the Lochenhörnle and Lochenstein, as well as the Schafberg and Plettenberg. The expansive views into the Alb foothills are impressive. At the foot of the mountain, to the northeast, lie Reutlingen and Pfullingen, to the north Tübingen with its satellite settlements on the Waldhäuser Höhe, and to the west Mössingen. In the south, Steinhilben rises seemingly to the clouds on a wave of the undulating highlands. On a clear day, a large section of the Alps is visible in the distance. Fantastic sunsets and sunrises are frequent. Even at night, the view of the sea of lights is a breathtaking experience.
