Hundsalm Eis- und Tropfsteinhöhle - Wörgl
With expert guidance, you will go 45 meters below the earth's surface into the Hundalm Ice and Stalactite Cave - the only publicly accessible ice cave in the Northern Tyrolean Alps. The cave is located above Angerberg/Mariastein, with the main entrance at 1520 m above sea level.
Visiting in spring is particularly recommended, as the cave showcases the most bizarre ice formations. Its ice and rock formations provide a fascinating insight into the secrets of the formation and development of our Earth. This story is told in an exciting way, with a wealth of expert knowledge, during a tour led by members of the cave research association. Before descending underground, participants are equipped with mining lamps and helmets.
Through well-secured stairs, you descend through a narrow gorge into the mountain. Just a few meters in, the first ice surfaces can be seen – almost still under open sky. Then, the well-developed paths lead further down into the winding cave labyrinth. There is always time to take a closer look at the abstract forms of ice and rock. The truly large and spectacular ice and rock formations are hidden deep inside the mountain.
