Such so-called ice holes occur mainly in the Alps. Here in the Black Forest, this is rather rare. In fact, you can sometimes find ice rests in the gaps between the boulders even in midsummer. As cold winter air builds up on the bottom of the valley, thawing is sometimes slowed down to the point that these natural refrigerators stay in place until the summer.

No matter how hot it is outside, the ice holes are always very, very cold. The closer you get the colder it gets. Really very impressive.
