The 750.6 m high Wasserberg near Schlat offers wooded heights, wide views of the Albtrauf and the Wasserberghaus, a popular rest and refreshment stop overlooking the Filstal valley.
The Wasserberg is a 750.6 m high mountain range on the edge of the Swabian Alb and characterizes the landscape around Schlat in the district of Göppingen. Its summit area is densely forested and merges in the west over the saddle of the Gairenbuckel into the neighboring Fuchseck - also a prominent point in the Schlat district.

At the eastern end of the mountain plateau, the view opens up far into the Filstal valley and to the Drei Kaiserberge mountains. This is where the Wasserberghaus is located, a managed hut of the Swabian Albverein dating back to 1926. With its location directly on the Albtrauf and the inviting terrace, it is a popular destination for hikers and cyclists. The hut offers refreshments and overnight accommodation and is also located directly on the Swabian Alb North Rim Trail, a traditional long-distance route along the Albtrauf.

The Wasserberg combines quiet forest paths, impressive viewpoints and a historic Albverein hut to create a varied nature experience - ideal for tours around Schlat or as a stage on long hiking routes.
