The hike begins in the Leoganger Ullachtal/Passauer Hut and first leads through forest, then along the hiking trail through meadows and later more rocky terrain up to Birnbachloch at 1291 m. The Birnbachloch is a karst spring with an approximately 20 m wide "entrance hall." Inside this hall, the Birnbach springs. A few hundred meters from Birnbachloch, the hiker encounters the Birnbach Glacier, the lowest glacier in Central Europe. It has a significant history, as at the end of the 19th century, Munich breweries obtained ice here for their ice cellars. Ice blocks were transported down the mountain on hundreds of meters long wooden slides.

The starting point of the hike is at the parking lot in the Leoganger Ullachtal. From here, you first cross a dry stream bed, then walk a section along the hut path towards Passauer Hut. Afterwards, head northwest along the marked trail to Birnbachloch. Take the same route back.
Variant:
A rewarding circular route goes over the suspension bridge and between Vorderer Sonnberg and Birnberg back to the starting point.
Those who want to extend the hike can park at the football field "Steinbergstadion" in Leogang/Rosental, left behind the Ritter bakery (Leogang 82, 5771 Leogang). From here, the path leads through the romantic Wetzsteinwald to the Ullachtal/Passauer Hut parking lot.
Sturdy footwear, daypack, map material, snacks/drinks - no catering facilities!
