context_page_description: An alpentor in geology is the point where an entire glacier forced its way through to the Alpine Foreland from the Alps during the ice age.
context_section_description: In the Inn Valley (towards Rosenheim) the Inn Glacier was forced between the Wildbarren and the Kranzhorn at a height of about 1,300 m above sea level (NN). A tributary, the Isar valley glacier flowed south from Bad Tölz between the Blomberg and the Rechelkopf at a height of about 1,000 m into the plains.
  At the Walchensee and Kochelsee lakes a tributary of the Inn Glacier pushed through over the Kesselberg at a height of 1,400 m between the Jochberg and the Herzogstand.
  The Loisach Glacier, another tributary, flowed between the  Wank and the Kramerspitz near Garmisch at a height of about 1,700 m. In present-day Murnau the ice stream reached a height of 1,200 m.
