Also the east adjoining part up to Building land belongs to Buntsandstein-Odenwald With the exception of the Katzenbuckels, this granite rock is the highest mountain in the Odenwald and towers over the surroundings as a volcanic cone. Some villages south of the Neckar also belong to the Buntsandstein-Odenwald, this natural area is usually referred to as Little Odenwald, with the limit to the Kraichgau is not always clearly recognizable even for locals.
