Birch Forest in Quarzsandgrube Nature Reserve

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

Enchanting, light forest with lots of birch trees. Belongs to the site of the former quartz sand works. Here it was backfilled and reforested.

The cave was first examined around 1898 by Mr. Stauffer from Frauenfeld. His research from that time apparently remained fruitless. Only large-scale excavations by geologist Emil Stauber between 1934 and 1935 then provided charcoal-bearing layers with finds from the Middle and Younger Stone Ages, as well as from the Roman period.

Hochwacht Wildensbuch Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The wooden tower was built in 2009. It is 37 meters high and 8.5 meters wide. The viewing platform is at a height of 33 meters and offers a great panoramic view of the Hegau, the Black Forest and, if the visibility is appropriate, the Alps.
Next to the tower there are several tables and benches as well as a very nice barbecue area.
