At the heart of Switzerland we find Lucerne, and at the heart of Lucerne we find the Glacier Garden. It is Nature’s own monument to its history, with a park and museum. It is also a tourist attraction and an oasis of peace from busy Lucerne life. Glacial potholes of impressive proportions bear witness to the last ice age and to the fact that Lucerne was once covered by glaciers. Fossilised mussels and palm leaves show that some 20 million years earlier Lucerne was a subtropical beach. A multimedia show and interactive information system will bring to life the exciting history of the earth in an easy to understand way. The oldest large scale mountain relief in the world by F. L. Pfyffer von Wyher and the Alhambra Labyrinth of Mirrors are some of the other highlights in the Lucerne Glacier Garden.

Join us on a voyage of discovery through the Glacier Garden and learn more about geology, glaciers and history.
