    Even the Neanderthals watched for prey from the Bockstein. This circular route follows their trail. How did the Neanderthals live and hunt? What did they leave us in the Bockstein Caves? The Ice Age Trail Bockstein offers exciting insights into "survival" during the last Ice Age.

    Author’s recommendation

    You can try out the life of Ice Age people, their hunting techniques, and much more yourself at the nearby Archaeopark Vogelherd afterwards.
