Hoyerberg and Säntis

WI_ge001_355_919.jpg

Drumlins are small, drop-shaped hills made of till, such as Hoyerberg shown in this scene. They formed beneath Pleistocene glaciers. The steep side always points against the direction of the glacier flow, whereas the more gentle side points along the flow direction. View from Entenberg in SW direction, Säntis (2502 m) is shown in the background.
