At the grotto in Assinghausen

Like in many places, ice was stored here in the winter to be used to cool the brewed beer in the summer. Another example of this can be found in Grevenstein. It's a stamp station for the Assinghausen Hiking Badge.

In the lower village there is a tunnel about 15 m long carved into the rock, the entrance of which is framed with slate stones. In earlier times the tunnel served as a storage room for ice that was cut from the ice cover of a pond during the winter. The ice remained in the tunnel until the summer months and was used to cool the beer brewed in the village. Source: www.assinghausen-live.de

The ice bucket was used to store ice in the winter. The ice, packed in straw, lasted until the summer.

Short (paid) tours depending on demand, at least every 45 minutes, lots of explanations - not just about stalagmites, stalactites and stalagnates, but about the entire formation and previous cave. Dogs are also allowed on a leash, just note that there are a few stairs. PS: Sorry, guys, but did you understand that the highlight is called "BilsteinHÖHLE" and not "Tierpark" or "Bilsteinfelsen"? It would be nice if the photos were uploaded accordingly!

When there were no refrigerators, ice was cut in winter and taken to a natural cellar like this. This kept the stored food cool until the next summer.
