Is that a giant boulder? You might be surprised to find yourselves standing before such massive stones here in Geopark Eichelgarten. Situated in a tranquil oak grove south of Teisendorf, Geopark Eichelgarten isn’t your typical park. It’s a journey through time, laid out in stone. These impressive boulders, known as glacial erratics, were carried here by the mighty glaciers of the last Ice Age.
