Teckberg

Teckberg is a mountain at Landkreis Esslingen in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, with an elevation of 775 metres.775 m above sea level Situated on top is castle Teck.
The Teckberg jumps from Swabian Jura edge from about 3 km towards the north front and overlooks the Albvorland to 350 m, the Lauter valley to 400 m. He is flanked of the approximately 602 m high foothills Hörnle and Hohenbol north and northwest. Both Foothills include smokestacks of the Swabian volcano. North below the Hörnle is the glider area Teck . The slope of the Teckberg formed by the Yellow Rock, a Schwammriff the Jura sea of bright lime. Under the "Gelber Fels", is the 31 m long and 45 m high Veronikahöhle, which is connected through columns with Verena-Beutlins-Loch. East of the Gelber Fels three grave mounds indicate from the Hallstatt period the early settlement of the Teckberg. Under the castle Teck is the 35 m long and 9 m high fabled Sibyllenloch, on the other side the 22 m long Sibyllenhöhle. It was only in 1937 discovered during construction work and was explored in 1977. During excavations in Sibyllenloch 1898/99 over 2,000 skeletal remains of cave bear, cave lion, cave hyena and wild horse were found. So many conclusions about the glacial fauna could be drawn.
