Colored Stones in the Flumserberge

Description

Red, white, yellow, brown are the stones here, a wonderful play of colors, with the green alpine pastures. During this hike, you will discover the many colors of the stones. Your gaze wanders over the vast and interesting landscape, amazed. Equally astonishing are the powerful rocky folds of the Sichelkamm, and the very steep rock formations of the Sächsmoor. You are in the middle of the Sardona tectonic arena, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The departure is from the Maschgen ridge, and soon the view opens up to the Seeben moorland landscape, with its three mysteriously dark and shimmering mountain lakes. The view of the Murgtal is spectacular: the red stone of the Verrucano and the northernmost presence of Swiss firs. Soon the idyllic Sächserseelein is reached, and now a game can begin: Who will discover the most belemnites, fossils from the Tethys Sea's past?
