Nature and Landscape

Geology

The village lies in the Keuper hills Berglen, on one level of the Middle parlor sandstone, which weathers to sandy soils. Since these sandy soils are easy to work and warm up quickly in spring, they are in agriculture for special crops, specially used for strawberry production. To Breuningsweiler was formerly much sand dug (hence the Breuningsweiler Necknamen: Sand Hares ) and broken stones, visible at the many small quarries around the village. The largest quarry south of the village was filled, now a children's playground is set up it. A special feature of the village are the sandstone caves under the houses, the last two measured, drawn and photographed by Herbert Sellner. Previously applied for the extraction of sand grave, they are buried or closed today.
