    Hiking

    There used to be assumptions about the cave that it was supposed to be an escape route from the Garsten monastery on the other bank of the Enns, which comes to light here, according to other reports even from the Styraburg (today Lamberg Castle) at the confluence of the Enns and Steyr.

    Mountain biking

    The wind hole is located on the elongated back of the Damberg, which consists of Oberkreideflysch. The entrance is located directly where the silhouette of the mountain slopes down to the Ennstal. A tectonic fault on the western flank led to the formation of caves.

    The name is based on the often powerful rushing in it, like that of a wind, where its name comes from. The total length of the corridor is 96 meters with a total height difference of 37.6 meters, in the lower part about 6 m deep ladder descent.

    Cycling

    The path is actually a hiking trail and is very muddy and slippery after rain. Not really suitable for my cross bike.
    According to legend, there was an escape route from here under the Enns to Garsten Monastery.
