An extraordinary relic of the Ice Age, the Glacier Garden is a must for every visitor to Lucerne. Discovered by accident by Joseph Wilhelm Amrein-Troller in 1872 and opened to the public in 1873, the Glacier Garden is an outstanding natural monument with glacier-polished rock, erratic boulders and pot holes up to 9.5 metres deep and 8 metres in diameter. The museum contains the oldest relief map of Switzerland and a historic model of the city. Other features include the Alhambra Labyrinth of Mirrors, an early example of a climbers’ hut and a lookout tower, a lovely park and a picnic terrace.
