The Eyach passes through on their way gradient ranging from the Swabian Alb to the Neckar a valley that has some stunning landscapes. The emergence of the picturesque rock formations of Schalksburg rock Gräbelesberges and hole Hörnles in running goes back to a former tributary of the ancient Danube. The now flowing in the opposite direction Ting Eyach is an example of how extended the river system of the Rhine at the expense of the Danube system.
