    Hiking

    The Schafloch is an interesting and very special facility. This natural ice cave in the Sigriswilergrat enables you to cross under the Sigriswiler Rothorn. The original ice grotto still has a humid climate today, but no more ice. According to oral sources, the approximately 600 meter long passage under the Sigriswilergrat was expanded as a connection and logistics tunnel during active duty.

    Hiking

    Fascinating cave without light, dark and slightly damp. The cave is a natural ice cave, which was extended by the Swiss Army in the form of a tunnel to reach both sides of the ridge.
