Westerheim

Tucked into the karst plateau of the Swabian Alb, Westerheim is a place whose character is shaped by its high, open setting. The municipality lies in Baden-Württemberg’s Alb uplands, a limestone region marked by dry valleys, woodland and farmland rather than major urban corridors. Schertelshöhle, a publicly accessible limestone cave near the village, gives a direct sense of the underground processes that formed this terrain. Above ground, Westerheim belongs to the rural cultural landscape of the Alb, where compact settlements and agriculture have long shared the plateau. The area is part of the wider UNESCO Global Geopark Swabian Alb. View additional webcams nearby to better understand how Westerheim relates to the Swabian Alb.
