Eiszeitpark Engen, Ice Age park in Engen, Germany.

The Eiszeitpark spans across a network of trails surrounding the Petersfels rock formation, displaying geological exhibits and paleontological discoveries from the last glacial period.

Archaeological excavations at the site since 1927 revealed numerous flint tools, animal bones, and reindeer antler engravings, including the notable Venus of Engen stone figure.

The Petersfels Days event occurs every two years, featuring demonstrations of Stone Age tool making, jewelry crafting, and ancient hunting techniques from 15,000 years ago.

The three-kilometer circular trail through the park contains information boards in three languages, explaining the reconstructed vegetation of the steppe tundra environment.

The park houses a specialized moor area showcasing prehistoric plants like tamarisk, rockrose, perennial flax, and downy birch that first colonized the region after the ice age.
