UNESCO Geophenomena Trail Kerenzerberg
UNESCO-Welterbe Tektonikarena Sardona Verified partner Explorers Choice
The trail between Habergschwänd and Talalpsee measures 2 kilometers. On this short stretch you can find rocks with an age difference of up to 100 million years. All of them were formed as deposits on the bottom of a sea. Most of them are limestone. In various places they contain fossilized former sea creatures, e.g. assilines. In some places whole "animal graveyards" can be found.
A beautiful and eventful 2-day round trip hike results from combining the Geophenomene Trail with the Schabziger Trail.
