Ice and fire: This is the wonderful view from the Hochwacht Tower. The area contains an exceptionally rich archive of Quaternary sediments and landforms including the buried Basadingen Overdeepening that we explore within the DOVE project (drill site hidden in the forest in the middleground on the right). On the left (north) you can see the remains of the majestic Hegau volcanoes that were active during Miocene.
