This show cave is the greatest nature cave of the Salzburg Central Alps and one of the most important of the periphery of the Hohe Tauern. It therefore was nominated also for the European protectorate system "Natura 2000" of the European Union. A popular destination to visit for the whole family.

The admission to the cave is possible only in the context of a guidance. This starts at the cave entrance, at least 3 adult persons. The entrance to the cave is locked outside the opening times.

During the tour, which lasts for approximately 50 minutes, the visitor experiences a fascinating underground world which has been made by the nature for millions of years. The size of the halls, the wonderful dripstone formations and the rock formations formed by the strength of the water after the ice ages will astonish every visitor. It is explained by the state checked cave guides how this enchanting fairytale world has arisen. When required this is carried out also in English and Italian. The first floor can be gone to on a fully developed guided tour way (length 400 m) without equipment. An own flashlight is of advantage. Cave temperature around +6° C. Warm clothes and firm footwear are recommended.

The cave is also a "place of strength" due to the high positive field lines. Many visitors were freed from illnesses and complaints (according to own statement). During the leadership you walk over force fields (stronger than the ones in Lourdes in France), noted for their healing power. A meeting or meditation is possible after previous announcement.

Those who love the special, agree on a "great cave tour" -- for an adventure and nature experience pure into the 1st floor which lasts for 4 to 6 hours. For this equipment and an appointment is required.
