Birds and BeaversThis hike runs through one of the many artificial lake areas in Upper Swabia, created by gravel extraction. The nature reserve in the Ablach valley is now a paradise for migratory birds, butterflies, and dragonflies. Beavers have also become native to the wetland again. For railway enthusiasts, it is interesting that until 1969, a continuous railway line ran here from Stuttgart to Lake Constance; in Schwackenreute it was supposed to intersect an east-west connection from Ulm to Basel. The elegant, palace-like station, of which only the outer walls remain, and the large multi-family house with apartments for railway officials still bear witness to the grand plans that were never realized. Since 2021, the ‹Biberbahn› (www.biberbahn.de) has been running on Sundays on the railway line between Radolfzell on Lake Constance and Mengen in the Danube valley.

In the Footsteps of Heidegger South of MeßkirchMeßkirch is a small country town with a great past in western Upper Swabia. In the residence city of the Counts of Zimmern, the first four-winged Renaissance castle north of the Alps was built in the mid-16th century; its builder is better known as the author of the Zimmer's Chronicle. Under the Princes of Fürstenberg, however, the residence was moved to Donaueschingen. Since several significant personalities were born around Meßkirch, the area is called the Baden Genius Corner. Known beyond the region are: Arnold Stadler (*1954, writer), Abraham a Santa Clara (1644–1709, Viennese court preacher and writer), Conradin Kreutzer (1780–1849, conductor and composer), and Martin Heidegger (1889–1980, philosopher). Despite his unclear relationship with National Socialism, Heidegger is considered one of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century. His brother Fritz reportedly said: "Martin couldn't be used for anything clever, so he just became a philosopher."In the last decades of the 20th century, Meßkirch experienced economic decline. Meanwhile, thanks to an active administration, new companies have settled, and investments have been made in tourism. You can see in the city that it is on the rise again.
