Glacier Garden (Gletschergarten)

Gletschergarten

The park is very small, the museum inside is not big, a few exhibits tell the history of Lucerne from the Ice Age to the present

About 20 million years ago, when the Alpine orogeny did not begin, the Lucerne region was a subtropical coast, with fossils of coconut trees, shells, tropical fish, etc. at that time. Seeing the fossils really feels the vicissitudes of life.

Next to the dying lion's carving is the glacier park, which retains the trails of glacier movement, and in addition to some glacier remains, an indoor exhibition presents the geographic changes of lucerne and the surrounding mountains. There is also a tower inside the park that goes up to overlook the city of Lucerne

The wonderful geographical changes trace back to the humans during the Ice Age, and it is also a microcosm of the history of the earth's development.

When Mr. Toller was digging a wine cellar in 1872, he stumbled upon this significant glacier relic! The Glacier Park was officially opened in 1873, and the glacier excavation continued until 1876. A large number of fossil specimens of prehistoric animals were found. In 1980, a roof was added to the ruins to prevent weathering and erosion. The exhibition is detailed and exquisite, delicate and rich, I recommend everyone to take a look...

Lucerne Glacier Park, the traces of glaciers 20,000 years ago, and the vortex formed by the violent water when the glacier melted, which washed the stones into small balls. The power of nature is great, and human beings appear so small in front of nature. .
