Upper Swabia
The region of Upper Swabia is in the central south of Germany containing of the south-east of Baden-Württemberg and the south-west Bavarian Swabia region and is on the Iller-Lech Plateau, also known as the Upper Swabian Plain, one of the natural regions of Germany. The landscape of Upper Swabia is quite hilly rising from about 458 metres above sea level in the valley of the river Danube to 833 metres above sea level in the south-west of Upper Swabia only to decrease again to 395 meters above sea level at Lake Constance. The European watershed also passes through the region, with some rivers releasing into the Danube (ultimately flowing into the Black Sea) and others releasing into Lake Constance (ending in the North Sea).
