A very nice little fountain for dragon explorers.

The natural phenomenon known as the Toteisloch (Dead Ice Hole) is located in the Dietringen / Rieden district on Lake Forggensee. It is a small, completely enclosed hollow formed by the burial and subsequent thawing of a block of dead ice.

After the ice thawed, the hollow is exposed to the surface. The Toteisloch used to be permanently dry. Today, its bottom lies within the fluctuating water level of Lake Forggensee, so it is usually filled with water, especially in summer.

The ascent from Bernbeuren to the Auerberg through the Feuerstein Gorge and the adjoining Jägersteig trail is a popular hike in the western Pfaffenwinkel region. The wildly romantic lower section of the trail mostly follows the stream, while further up it frequently crosses small footbridges from one side of the stream to the other.

Dead ice holes are usually quite small, but have their own charm. In this case, a very nice photo opportunity with the cows and the Alps in the background.

Beautiful path through the reed moor

It's nice to look at of course

Already a shaky affair
