EN: Glacial erratics are large boulders that were brought to the area around Neuchâtel by glaciers 22,000 years ago from very distant places in the Alps and the Jurassic mountains.
About a dozen of them are on display in a section of the park south of the Laténium in Hauterive. The Laténium is the largest archeological museum of Switzerland.
