Fuchseck, Mountain summit in Baden-Württemberg, Germany

Fuchseck is a mountain summit standing at 761 meters on the northern edge of the Swabian Alb. The peak sits near the towns of Gammelshausen, Eschenbach, and Schlat in the Göppingen District.

The Fuchseck lies at the meeting point of the municipal boundaries of Schlat, Heiningen and Bad Ditzenbach, with the summit itself on Schlat's territory in the Göppingen District. In 2008 the Natursportgruppe Eschenbach erected a panorama viewing platform with information boards there, which explain among other things why the spot is also called Dr.-Theodor-Engel-Ruhe.

The name Fuchseck is explained on the panorama boards that the Natursportgruppe Eschenbach installed on the summit in 2008; the same boards explain why the spot is also called Dr.-Theodor-Engel-Ruhe. The Schwäbische-Alb-Nordrand-Weg (HW 1) of the Schwäbische Albverein crosses the summit, and the climb from Eschenbach is considered the hardest and steepest.

The summit is accessible via marked trails departing from the surrounding towns with parking available nearby. Check the weather before heading up, as the exposed ridge can be windy and conditions change quickly.
