The ice holes are a basin-like, about 200 m long and 5-10 m wide hollow at the foot of the landslide on Gantkofel. Through a wind tunnel system in the mountain, cold air flows with 0 ° C to a maximum of 5 ° C in the boiler and forms a cold air lake, which does not dissolve even in the summer months. So it can happen that you sweat in the only 500 meters away orchards at 30 ° C, while at the bottom of the ice holes has supercooled 5 ° C.

Hiking

Great hiking trail. The forest was not too hot. Also suitable for children. Only negative the approach. Parking at the foot of the Mendel use.

Cold air currents in an underground lake make for ice / snow between the rocks
