North of Sonnenbühl in the Swabian Jura (district of Reutlingen) are well-preserved entrenchments from the War of the Spanish Succession (1701–1714). The historical relics, which include the Roßberg and BtotalPageschanze entrenchments, were built in 1703 by Württemberg troops as part of a defensive line.

Roßberg Tower and Roßberg House The Roßbergturm is the 28 m high observation tower on the Roßberg. On its top, the tower, built in reinforced concrete, carries an antenna mast for BOS radio communication. A hikers' lodge is integrated into the tower. On each floor of the tower, there is one or more rooms with simple overnight accommodation. In the lower part of the tower, a restaurant is housed. Tower and hikers' lodge were built as a jubilee tower for the 25th anniversary of the Schwäbischer Albverein and inaugurated on September 28, 1913. The design and construction management were carried out by the Stuttgart architect Karl Schweizer, and the reinforced concrete construction was executed by the company Ludwig Bauer from Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt. At that time, the summit was less densely wooded. Originally, the entire hikers' lodge was located in the tower; in the 1930s and 1960s, the facility was expanded with annexes, and in 1982 it was renovated again. The road leading up to the tower, called Roßbergsteige, was built in 1934. From the top of the tower, one can look out over the Swabian Jura (Schwäbische Alb) and its foreland. To the west, the view extends to the Black Forest (Schwarzwald), to the north to the Schönbuch and the Stuttgart TV Tower. To the northeast, on the Albtrauf escarpment, the Hohenstaufen and the Hohenneuffen ruins can be seen among other landmarks. In good visibility conditions, the peaks of the Northern Alps can be seen to the south. The Alpine panorama begins in the southeast with the Wetterstein Mountains including the Zugspitze and stretches across the Tannheimer Berge, Allgäuer Alpen, Lechquellengebirge, Rätikon, Alpstein, and Glarner Alpen to the Tödi in the south. Occasionally, mountains of the Central Alps can also be seen, for example, the 3496 m high Schrankogel in the Stubai Alps, which is 212 km away.

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.
