Fossils – Feeling very close to the ancient oceans

Fossils – Feeling very close to the ancient oceans
With our experienced nature park ranger, you follow the traces of ancient rocks proving the presence of living beings in long gone seas. Together you’ll start from Fischeralm to an instructive and exciting exploration of the streambed. The keen-eyed will find fossilized ammonites and mussel beds. Back at Fischeralm the ranger will show you how to work and refine the fossils. Take along a very special souvenir!
