    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.

      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.

        The East Entrance of Schafloch is notable for being one of the primary access points to this natural cave formation. geoguessrfree.org
