The Rhine, its valley and history . OfHftkr-iJ. «« TOWER OF LINDAU on ,,,,, BODEN SEE (L (LAKE OF KONSTANZ). The Swabia?i cRhi?ievalley of the Grisons, and spread in a fan over all theSwabian Plain as far as the Jura. In pre-glacial times it islikely that the Boden See was tributary to the Danube,although it must then have been at a much higherlevel, for Ulm on the Danube, away to the north-east,is nearly 300 feet higher than the present lake small rivers, the Argen and the Schiissen, nowdescend from Wurtemberg and Bavaria to the BodenSee, with valleys trenched deeply into the Swabianhigh plain. The water-parting between these tribu-taries of the Rhine and the streams which flow towardsUlm and the Danube is formed only by the greatmoraines which were left by the Rhine glacier whenit spread furthest. North-westward of the Boden See,beyond the end of the Uberlinger See and the UnterSee, are other morainic traces, but here the landscapeis varied not only by the past action of ice, but alsoby extinct volcanoes
