Cave sights in Salzburg

  1. Eisriesenwelt

    Billed as the world’s largest accessible ice caves, Eisriesenwelt is a glittering ice empire that spans 30,000 sq m and comprises 42km of narrow passages burrowing deep into the glacial heart of the mountains. It may feel warm outside, but temperatures plummet to subzero as soon as you enter the crevice in the cliffs; similar to the blast of cold air that hits you upon opening the freezer. Be sure to pack sturdy footwear and warm layers.

    Catacombs

    The graveyard is home to the so-called catacombs7, cavelike chapels and crypts hewn out of the cliff face.
