    Spectacular to see in winter. Here at the so-called cold hole, the stream that rises above the Gautschgrotte flows into the Polenz and, when it is cold for a long time, develops a great ice curtain several meters long and high. In summer when the temperatures are hot it's only a trickle. Well filled after prolonged rainfall.

      This large rock right next to the stream invites you to take a short break. A narrow path leads directly to the rock.
