Eisstausee St. Lambrecht
OpenOn the EISZEIT island in Oberdorf (Mariahof) you can understand and marvel at the different topics. On the ICE AGE ISLAND, the most important topics about the Ice Age and the landscape-shaping effect of the Mur Glacier in the nature park are shown through information boards and some interactive stations. The EISZEIT island in Oberdorf not only serves as an information platform, but is also the starting point for the two circular hiking trails “Off through the ground moraine” and “The glacier in the cul-de-sac”. In St. Lambrecht, the circular route “Ice Dam St. Lambrecht” invites you to follow the traces of the Ice Age. Information boards were erected that reported on the glacial processes. Three circular routes and the “Geocache” experience lead through the landscape shaped by the Ice Age and show forms of erosion and embankment as well as the remains of a mighty 5 km long ice reservoir.
