The Linzgau owes its typical landscape form to the ice ages 2 million years ago.
The landscapes lain bordering on the Bodensee more deeply are favoured by the nearly mediterrane Bodensee climate and are suitable therefore excellently for the fruit and cultivation of wine. The flatwavy landscape is in parts characterized by round of hill fields (drumlins), which became out polished by the Rhine glacier in the last ice age.
The upper Linzgau is by partially steep terrain steps set off from the Bodensee area and climatically clearly more rough. The elevations here are high up to 833 meters (Höchsten), why here already central mountain climate prevails. Long-drawn-out morain tracts from alpine rock material, which was deposited at the end of the glacier, is characteristic. Far moorland and reed-covered areas and individual lakes determine particularly in the northeast the landscape of the Linzgau.
