Hiking

The last ice age, the so-called Würm glaciation, was largely shaped by the Lech Glacier, which piled up ice masses over a hundred meters high. When the ice retreated around 14,000 years ago, the landscape of present-day Füssen, with its lakes, mountains, and the Lech River, was formed. The Ice Age glacier also transported enormous quantities of rock and gravel; relics of this are exhibited here as "glacial erratics."

The Ice Age boulders are located on the right hand side just before the hotel car park when you walk from Ritterstraße into Hintere Gasse
