Toteisloch Wolfsgrube

The Toteisloch Wolfsgrube stretches 150 meters in length and 120 meters in width, featuring steep walls that descend more than 20 meters deep.

The depression emerged during the last ice age when massive ice blocks separated from the Isar-Loisach Glacier and gradually melted, creating this geological formation.

Local traditions indicate that the depression served as a catch pit for wolves during earlier periods, which explains the inclusion of 'Wolfsgrube' in its name.

The geological site stands at 550 meters elevation and connects to multiple hiking trails, including the An der Amper loop from Grafrath.

The kettle-like formation earned recognition in 2005 as one of Bavaria's 100 most important geological monuments due to its distinct dead ice characteristics.
