Geography

Historic landscape

The Virngrund lies between the Württemberg towns of Crailsheim in the north and Ellwangen in the south, as well as south of the Franconian Heights and the Crailsheimer Hart. It extends roughly from Bühlertann and Bühlerzell in the west via the Ellwangen Hills to Wört in the east. Its highest point is the 580.0 m high Hornberg. The River Jagst flows through the Virngrund from south to north and the B 290 federal highway and A 7 motorway cross the landscape; the latter runs through the Hornberg in the Virngrund Tunnel.
