    Glacier pot, Göfis
    NATURAL MONUMENT GLACIER POT
    A special natural monument is the glacier pot discovered during construction work on the Amberg motorway tunnel.
    The mighty glacier pot with the 'glacial eggs' was professionally uncovered and made accessible to the public.
    It was created in the last ice age, when the surface of the Ill glacier was still 1,800 meters above sea level.
    The glacial meltwater rushed down the crevasses, reached the rocky subsoil and had an eroding and eroding effect.

    The surface of the Illgletschers was in the last ice age up to 1800 meters over the sea level. Splinter movements created cracks, through which the meltwater plunged to the bottom, where it eroded and eroded the ground. The glacier pot was shaped for several centuries. Rock blocks transported by the glacier repeatedly reached the forming glacier pot, were set in motion by the meltwater and thus formed into so-called glacier eggs.
