    Hiking

    In the days when there was no cooling technology, water ice was fetched from ponds in winter and stored in deep pits under this or similar buildings. In the ground there are temperatures that roughly correspond to the mean annual temperature of the area. The ice in the pits was mostly covered with straw. This made it possible to make water ice available well into summer.

    Somewhat hidden in the Belvedere Park is a building that looks like a small chapel. However, this is not a house of worship, but the refrigerator of the Belvedere Palace.

    The so-called ice house hides a pit in which blocks of ice were stored until the 20th century. In the summer months, for example, you could keep meat, fruit and drinks fresh.

    It served as a cold storage facility.
