In the heart of the mountain
Cave tours & experiences
Experience caves in 360° Alpenland
The adventure begins deep in the mountain
Beneath the familiar landscape of alpine pastures, peaks and rock faces, another world begins. Cave trekking in the mountains between Pyhrn and Priel takes you into the heart of the mountain - to where silence can be heard and the light only shines through the darkness in fine cones.
Accompanied by experienced cave guides, the route leads through narrow chutes, over natural rock steps and secured by short abseiling passages into the depths. Underground streams form halls and domes, dripping water tells of time periods far beyond our comprehension.
And those who prefer to experience the depths of the mountains in a gentler way can immerse themselves in long-forgotten stories during the legends and fairy tales in the chalk cave.
