You learn how around 10,000 years ago prehistoric humans ventured into the still glaciated Diemtigtal in search of food and found shelter under the Eyeriedschopf in Zwischenflüh. Excavations of stone and bone tools prove human presence in the Diemtigtal during the Middle Stone Age – an important anchor for the Diemtigtal history and culture trail.
At the starting point, there is a large covered barbecue area. Reserve it as a group at the office of the Diemtigtal Nature Park.
