“…caves in the area; the largest one is the 9343 m long Hölloch. The morphology and genesis of the exokarst and caves were described in detail by Eckert 1902, Wagner 1950, Cramer 1959, Schmidt-Thomé 1960, Fumy et al 2000 There is no weather station in the test site. The nearest station in the Breitach valley (1140 m) gives a mean annual precipitation of 1836 mm and an air temperature of 5.7°C.…”

“…The brittle limestones were fractured, while penetrative shear deformation predominates in the marls. Wagner (1950) describes 11 fold trains in the eastern section of the Säntis nappe and numbered the anticlines from S to N in roman numerals; the synclines are numbered by combining the numerals of the bordering anticlines. Six anticlines (II-VII) and five synclines (II/III-VI/VII) are situated in the area (Fig.…”

This paper summarises seven years of hydrogeological research in the alpine karst system Hochifen-Gottesacker (Germany/Austria). Geologically, the site belongs to the Helvetic nappes and consists of Cretaceous sedimentary rocks. The Schrattenkalk limestone forms a relatively thin karst aquifer above or between thick marl aquicludes, forcing groundwater to flow parallel to the strata. The limestone is intensively cut by faults and fractures favouring karstification. The fault offsets are relatively small, so that their influence on the large-scale groundwater flow paths is limited. The site is thus ideal to study the influence of fold structures on the drainage pattern. Multi-tracer tests with a total of 16 injections demonstrated that troughs of plunging synclines form the main underground flow paths, while crests of anticlines act as local groundwater divides in the higher karst zones where the base of the aquifer is above the level of the surrounding valleys. In an adjacent valley that receives inflow from several synclines, tracer tests confirmed a major underground drainage system running across the folds. An axial culmination in the area is part of the continental water divide Rhine-Danube; an axial depression acts as a zone of confluence.
