Description

The geological journey through time in the Glacier Garden leads past the glacier pots through the new rock world into the interior of the mountain. There, the Lucerne sandstone begins to tell its story and reveal its secrets - from its formation on the seashore, to its folding into the Alpine mountains, its shaping during the ice ages and the present, the center of time.
