Gletscherschliff bei Fischbach am Inn
Gletscherschliff bei Fischbach am Inn, Natural monument in Flintsbach, Germany.

History
The formation developed at the end of the last Ice Age when powerful glaciers moved through the Alpine foothills region. The Inn Glacier left clear evidence of its passage carved into the surrounding terrain.

The site functions as an educational resource for geology students and researchers studying the effects of quaternary glaciation in the Northern Alps.
Practical
The site is accessible on foot from Fischbach train station and located near the Inn dam area. Marked trails make it straightforward to reach and explore this natural monument.

The terrain contains numerous glacier mills created when pressurized meltwater carved funnel-shaped pits into the limestone. These formations demonstrate how actively the glacial erosion continued beneath the moving ice.
