Deutsch: Bachli-Giesenen-Störung Français: Faille de Bachli-Giesenen English: Bachli-Giesenen Fault
The Bachli-Giesenen Fault is a synsedimentary fault, now situated at the transition between the Wildhorn Nappe Complex to the west and the Axen and Drusberg Nappes to the east. This fault led to the development of a very thick marl sequence (earliest Cretaceous Palfris Formation) in its eastern compartment, that acted as décollement layer during Alpine nappe stacking.

Deutsch: Bözberg-Plateau Français: Plateau du Bözberg Italiano: Altopiano del Bözberg English: Bözberg Plateau
The Bözberg Plateau is a small plateau of the External Folded Jura, detached for a few hundreds of meters to the north. It is limited to the north by the frontal Mandach Thrust and to the south by the «Vorfaltenzone» (partly hidden by the overthrust Internal Folded Jura).
The Neogene Randen Fault, with a maximum vertical offset of about 250 m, forms - together with the Schiener Berg Fault - the southwestern limit of the central part of the Hegau-Bodensee Graben.
