Description of the tour path:
The visitor completes a tour path of about one kilometer, with a height difference of 135m, over serpentine paths, massive iron staircases, and 400 steps.
Through an imposing cave portal, one enters the entrance hall that descends inward, featuring powerful, moss-covered, and algae-overgrown sinter columns. The largest column is 22m high and has a circumference of 46m. From the "lookout hall," the view drops into the 45m deep abyss of the "Martel Dome."
One of the largest halls is the "Fantasy Hall," measuring 120m in length, 85m in width, and 20m in height. Here lies a true jungle of around 4,000 large stalagmite structures with particularly expressive figures: One finds fine limestone corals, gossamer-thin, white and colored curtains, crystal-clear crystals, and sparkling crystal columns. Numerous bone finds from cave bears complete the picture of an untouched prehistoric time by humans. Today, the entire cave is easily accessible via a sophisticated system of stairs and steps.
From the "Fantasy Hall," one reaches further significant discoveries made by the explorer couple Hermann and Regina Hofer in 1955:
The "Magic Realm" and the "Lake Paradise," whose richly shaped, bizarre diversity is almost impossible to describe verbally. At the lowest point, alabaster-white stalagmites and sinter islands rise from the turquoise-green shimmering water surface of a cave lake landscape, framed by magnificent riverbank walls. As if created after an oversized script, the beauty of Austria's richest stalactite show cave is completed here.
