Via the Gleifkirche to the ice holes

From the town hall square of St. Michael, past the yellow elementary school building and the Raiffeisen hall, the path is well signposted and leads in pleasant switchbacks through deciduous forest and vineyards up the Gleif hill in half an hour. After exploring the various grooves and channels as well as the somewhat behind lying Devil's Chair (a larger hollow left by the meltwater of the glaciers over thousands of years), you walk on the access road to Gleifkirche towards Moos-Schulthaus castle. Further south at the curve, the signposted hiking trail No. 15 branches off to the right.

On this trail leading into the forest, the famous ice holes are reached in half an hour. It is really impressive how the vegetation and air change suddenly even on hot summer days, making you almost shiver.

After extensive exploration, continue on the trail with No. 15 until Mendelstraße is reached. Follow this down about 500 meters along the sidewalk of Andreas-Hofer-Straße until shortly the new housing estates of Obere and Untere Gand are reached. A pedestrian promenade branching off to the left leads traffic-free past the cultural center and school back to the starting point in the center.
