It was originally assumed that these were Ice Age glacial potholes. In fact, this is the former riverbed of the Nasse, which has changed its path over time.

So you can't really get past these glacier potholes. When you walk down the mountain, they initially look like huge stones or big feet. However, if you read the story carefully, it is much more and very interesting. You should take a little time to admire them.

I helped dig them out in 1983.
