    Traces of the ancient sea can still be found on the eastern edge of the small town of Heldenfingen. Around 15 million years ago there was the coast of a vast sea that created a rugged coastline with its constant waves. You can still discover parts of the former cliffs to this day. The traces of former sea creatures can still be found in the rocks.
