The Siegsdorf cave lion is a true rarity. Radiocarbon dating puts its age at 47,000 years. The cutting marks on the bones of the lion are extraordinary. They are traceable to razor sharp flint knives used by stone age hunter–gatherers.

Ice-age model with the Chiemsee
The Chiemsee originated around 15,000 years ago. A landscape model shows the lake in Chiemgau during the Ice Age. Three large glaciers dominate the landscape. Today the rivers Salzach, Tiroler Ache and Inn flow down the terrain structures shaped in the Ice Age. You hardly notice the small Prien glacier among them.
