We went to the Gletschergarten in Lucerne last Saturday and it was an interesting outing. The Glacier Garden is a unique attraction that offers a glimpse into Ice Age history.
The highlight of the visit was undoubtedly the Glacier Garden itself. The Glacier Garden is a giant boulder that was transported and deposited by glaciers during the Ice Age. The boulder is 170 meters long and up to 30 meters wide. It was incredible to walk around on this boulder and see how it has changed over the past millennia.
Another highlight of the visit was visiting the Ice Cave. The Ice Cave is a man-made cave similar to the ice chambers formed in glaciers during the Ice Age. It was fascinating to see the ice being formed and hear it crack and crackle as it melted.
The Glacier Garden also features a variety of interactive displays that explain life in the Ice Age and the formation of the Alps and glaciers. There was also an observation tower from which one had a breathtaking view of the city of Lucerne and the surrounding mountains.
Overall, the visit to the glacier garden was an unforgettable experience. We learned a lot about the geology and history of the area and had a lot of fun exploring the ice cave and giant boulder. We would definitely recommend everyone to visit the Gletschergarten if they get the chance.
