    Tips

    The snail wall
    The Schneckenwand is located on the southern slope of the Gamsfeld in about 1,200m above sea level. The circular route leads you on the forest road towards Neuam. After approx. 3 km the path branches off to the left. You pass a wild feeding and after a total of 1 1/2 hours you reach the snail wall. After a short distance in the forest you will reach the Fallenegg farmers. On the road you come back to the center. The actual fossil find site is right of the forest road. The snail wall captivates by its mass occurrence of the Russbachschnecke predominantly the kind Trochactaeon and other Fossilienarten. At the area exposed by the humus layer the fossil snails can be seen directly. Excavations and blasting are strictly prohibited!
