Gletscherschliff bei Fischbach am Inn
Gletscherschliff bei Fischbach am Inn, Natural monument in Flintsbach, Germany.
The glacial smoothing extends 100 meters in length and 40 meters in width, displaying polished Wetterstein limestone with scratches and rounded formations.
During the Ice Age, the Inn Glacier carved this formation, leaving visible traces of its movement through rock material carried at its base.
The site functions as an educational resource for geology students and researchers studying the effects of quaternary glaciation in the Northern Alps.
Visitors can reach the geological formation by following marked paths from Fischbach train station, walking along the B15 towards the Inn dam.
The formation contains numerous glacier mills, which developed when meltwater under pressure created funnel-shaped depressions in the limestone bedrock.
