The Schlichem Valley is considered to be richly structured: there are various types of forest, wet meadows, steppe heaths and sheep pastures, rock formations, and, of course, the famous Schlichem Gorge, which, with its winding cataracts and cascades, is a testimony to the carving of the Schlichem into the shell limestone over millions of years. The ruins of Irslingen Castle are also worth a visit.
