Austria’s most stalactite-rich show cave
Plunge into a subterranean world with a wealth of stalagmites and stalactites. Let metre-tall, delicate limestone candles and sparkling flowstone columns enchant you. Through the 22 m wide and 10 m high entry portal of the Katerloch, you enter the imposing entrance hall with what is called the Atlas. It has a circumference of 46 m and a height of 22 m, making it one of the world’s mightiest tufas. The fantasy hall with a size of 10,000 m² is just as impressive. It holds a veritable forest of stalactites and stalagmites with thousands of fantasy formations.
