Singen: Hohentwiel Fortress, Hegau Volcanoes, and the Swiss Border's Industrial Gateway
Singen has a population around 48,000 and lies at the foot of the Hohentwiel in the Hegau region of Baden-Wuerttemberg, near the Swiss border. The Festungsruine Hohentwiel, perched on a volcanic plug 686 metres high, is the largest fortress ruin in Germany. Never captured in war, it was finally demolished by Napoleon's troops in 1801. The Hegau landscape of conical volcanic hills, remnants of Tertiary-era eruptions, surrounds the town.
Maggi, the food seasoning company, was founded in Singen, and Nestle maintains a presence. The Stadthalle, the Kunstmuseum, and the MAC (Museum Art and Cars) serve cultural functions. Konstanz and the Bodensee are 25 kilometres southeast. The Schaffhausen Rhine Falls, Europe's largest waterfall, are 15 kilometres south across the Swiss border. Singen is a railway junction connecting the Bodensee region to the Black Forest. Adult companionship follows Baden-Wuerttemberg's regulatory approach.
