Within the Heuberg Taining Area there is the legendary Dreibannmarke, also called the "Bahn", a 17th-century border, which today marks the border between three different municipalities, formerly in the three states of Württemberg, Baden, and Hohenzollern. The meadow at the Dreibannmarke served as a stopping place for traveling merchants, wagons and craftsmen. With care it is possible to identify traces of the border. After the inauguration of the firing ranges, a meadow in Meßstetten was allocated as a camping site at the edge of the restricted area. Until 1835 merchants were smuggled over the customs borders guarded by local hunters. In 1945 the first Rocket Bachem Ba 349 started on the Ochsenkopf in Kaiseringen, part of Straßberg.
