Welcome to the Hegau  
The volcanic castle landscape to the west of Lake Constance

deutsche Version

A mystical borderland with Tuscan flair

Bizarre volcanic formations, beguiling scents, springs shrouded in legend, magnificent knights castles and captivating river landscapes – the Hegau, located at the southernmost tip of Baden, feels like a mixture of a south German Tuscany and a mystical magic land.

The Hegau is an extraordinary region. Extraordinary because of its geological origins, which have given rise to its somewhat unusual topography. Extraordinary because of its history, which can still be seen in its numerous preserved and ruined fortresses. Extraordinary because of its proximity to Switzerland, with its bizarre boundary lines and border conditions. If you keep your eyes open as you travel through the Hegau, you are bound to see something remarkable wherever you go.
