    This "snow hole" got its name because people used to melt snow there in large copper kettles to water the cows.

    Most alpine pastures in the Totes Gebirge (hence the name) don't have their own water sources, and the dairymaids used to help themselves by collecting rainwater in large tubs. In dry summers, they melted snow and used mountain pines as firewood.

    The last time snow was melted this way was in 1937.
