Von Gunzereit geht es zu Fuß auf der
Forststraße vorbei an einigen Grillstellen mit im Schatten gelegenen Tischgruppen und weiter auf den alten Eisbringungswegen, vorbei an
Eisrutschen durch Latschenwälder zum Birnhorngletscher und weiter zum
Naturdenkmal Birnbachloch.Der Weg zum Naturdenkmal Birnbachloch ist ein gut gepflegter, teilweise als alpiner Steig ausgeführter und gesicherter Zugang, der durch den Ullachgraben in Leogang auf der Südseite des Birnhorn zur Quellhöhle hinaufführt. In einer Gehzeit von einer bis eineinhalb Stunden, ausgehend von Gunzenreit, je nach Tempo erreichbar, ist das Birnbachloch auch für Familien mit Kleinkindern ein beliebtes und bewältigbares Ausflugsziel, wobei entsprechendes Schuhwerk zu empfehlen ist.Gesamtgehzeit:

KeineGeschichtliches:Bevor es elektrische Kühlanlagen gab, war es üblich, dass Gastwirte im Winter Eis aus Teichen und Seen schnitten und in sog. „Eiskeller“ für die Kühlung der Getränke einlagerten.Die Bierbrauereien von München haben ihren großen Eisbedarf für die Bierkühlung Ende des 19. Jhdt. weitab von München im Zeller-See und auch im Grießen-See gedeckt.Doch es gab auch damals schon warme Winter und die Seen froren nicht mehr zu. So begannen die „Münchner Eiswerke“ am Birnbachgletscher mit der Eisgewinnung. Das Eis wurde in Blöcken abgebaut und über eine mehrere hundert Meter lange Holz-Rutschbahn in den Örgenkessel getriftet. Von dort wurde es mit Pferdefuhrwerken zum Gleisanschluss der Eisenbahn befördert.Zeitweilig waren bis zu hundert Arbeiter mit dem Schneiden, der Beförderung und Verladung des Eises beschäftigt. <br><img src="http://images.everytrail.com/pics/thumbnail/3156930-100-0055_IMG.JPG"/> <img src="http://images.everytrail.com/pics/thumbnail/3156900-100-0004_IMG.JPG"/> <img src="http://images.everytrail.com/pics/thumbnail/3156898-100-0003_IMG.JPG"/> <img src="http://images.everytrail.com/pics/thumbnail/3156901-100-0006_IMG.JPG"/> ]]></description><guid>http://www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=1206632</guid><link>http://www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=1206632</link><pubDate>Mon, 25 Jul 2011 12:46:51 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[walking in Seefeld 2]]></title><description><![CDATA[Walk to the Wildmoosalm and back<br>]]></description><guid>http://www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=36432</guid><link>http://www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=36432</link><pubDate>Fri, 8 Aug 2008 02:57:14 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wien Innere Stadt Walk - Stephansdom, Der Graben, Staatsoper, KarlsKirche, Belvedere, MAK, Rathaus, Parliament  ]]></title><description><![CDATA[We just arrived in Vienna for a long weekend vacation.  We took the airport bus to the Schwedenplatz station, checked in to our nearby hotel and went for a walk through the Inner City / Innere Stadt.We started walking South West along Rotenturmstraße toward the famous, and easily visible South Tower of the Stephansdom/St. Stephen's Cathedral.  We toured the cathedral, then walked over to the nearby Peterskirche / St. Peter's Church.  We toured it, too, then walked over to Der Graben, the impressive pedestrian shopping street.  We made our way South through Neuer markt on Tegetthoffstraße and Operngasse to the Vienna Opera / Wiener Staatsoper.From there, we walked South past Karlzplatz, visited KarlsKirche / St. Charles's Church, continued walking through Schwarzenbergplatz to the  Belvedere Palace.  We had lunch at a nice Braeu Brewery.We walked ourselves back to the Ringstraße, visited the Klimt exhibit at the Sucession Art Museum and took the tram upto the Museum für angewandte Kunst/Gegenwartskunst, Museum for Applied Arts (MAK).  We did a lengthy walk through the excellent exhibits, had some water at the cafe and took another tram to the Rathaus/Townhall.  We got there at dusk, just when they turned on the flood lights -- very nice.We walked some more along the Ringstraße and saw the Parliament, Burgtheater / Austrian National Theater,  Museum of Art History / Kunsthistorisches Museum, then took the tram back (the long way) to our hotel.We did a good job seeing what we could on our first, jet-lagged, afternoon in Central Europe.  We had so much fun together exploring, too bad we didn't have more time! <br><img src="http://farm8.static.flickr.com/7158/6403424605_64b308b396_m.jpg"/> <img src="http://farm8.static.flickr.com/7144/6403438225_52b4f3000c_m.jpg"/> <img src="http://farm8.static.flickr.com/7024/6403447197_0a9f4460c4_m.jpg"/> <img src="http://farm8.static.flickr.com/7172/6403447843_d3c72d690c_m.jpg"/> ]]></description><guid>http://www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=1372602</guid><link>http://www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=1372602</link><pubDate>Sat, 26 Nov 2011 22:41:55 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[biken hohenems-dornbirn]]></title><description><![CDATA[<br><img src="http://images.everytrail.com/pics/thumbnail/2288226-IMG00051-20100417-1428.jpg"/> <img src="http://images.everytrail.com/pics/thumbnail/2288227-IMG00119-20100714-1937.jpg"/> <img src="http://images.everytrail.com/pics/thumbnail/2288225-IMG00452-20101008-1621.jpg"/> <img src="http://images.everytrail.com/pics/thumbnail/2288224-IMG00455-20101008-1623.jpg"/> ]]></description><guid>http://www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=934807</guid><link>http://www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=934807</link><pubDate>Sat, 15 Jan 2011 06:25:08 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Biking Lake Neusiedl (Breitenbrunn - Rust - Podersdorf - Petronell - BA)]]></title><description><![CDATA[A bike-holiday with my wife &amp;amp; friends (almost the same ones as in previous holiday bike-tirp Dunau Radweg).
