Prehistory

The landscape forms of the Halfinger area began approximately 1 million years ago during the Ice Age through the erosion caused by the glacial streams and moraine deposits. The area around Halfing belonged to that to the east flank of the large Inngletschers. After its retreat into the mountains, a large water surface remained. The Halfinger bogs and the lakes in the Halfinger moorland (Wölkhamer, Zillhamer and Ameranger lake) are the last remains of glaciation.
