    The deepest glacier in the Alps, which is also preserved over the summer days.

      The ice chapel below the Watzmann east face is a very impressive natural phenomenon. Throughout the year you will find a firnis field, inside of which there is a large cavity, the Ice Chapel. The view is really terrific, depending on the season but different. In the summer, shafts are formed, which are up to 15 meters high. But even the way to the ice chapel is well worth it and also the transition over the river is really fun.

        The path from St. Bartholomä up here runs through a very attractive landscape. Especially with the autumn light it looks mystical and mysterious.
