Filsenberg, Mountain summit in Baden-Württemberg, Germany

Filsenberg is a mountain summit in Baden-Württemberg that rises to about 800 meters and forms part of the Swabian Jura. The terrain is characterized by limestone and features different habitats with varied plant life.

The Filsenberg lies at 805.4 metres above sea level south of Öschingen, part of Mössingen in Baden-Württemberg. Its unwooded plateau has been protected as a 35.8-hectare nature reserve since 1983, within the Mittlere Kuppenalb natural region, to preserve the nutrient-poor grassland and its orchids, cat's paws, Turk's cap lilies and gentians.

The meadows here support rare orchids and gentian flowers that show how important this area is for nature protection. You can see special plants that are difficult to find elsewhere.

Marked hiking trails lead to the summit, and parking areas are available near Öschingen at the base of the mountain. The climb is manageable for most people and offers different routes depending on your ability.

From the Teufelsloch viewpoint at the southeastern end, you can see the Farrenberg peak and the upper Steinlach valley. This location also has grill stations where visitors can prepare meals.
