Eisriesenwelt Werfen is a stunning natural wonder located in the town of Werfen, Austria. It is the largest ice cave in the world, stretching over 42 kilometers in length. The cave is situated in the Hochkogel mountain range and can only be accessed by a cable car ride up the mountain.
Once inside the cave, visitors are greeted with a breathtaking display of ice formations, stalactites, and stalagmites. The cave is illuminated with soft lighting, creating a magical atmosphere that is both eerie and beautiful. The temperature inside the cave remains at a constant -1°C, so visitors are advised to dress warmly.
The cave was discovered in 1879 by Anton Posselt, a natural scientist, and has since become a popular tourist attraction. Visitors can take a guided tour of the cave, which lasts approximately 75 minutes. The tour takes visitors through a series of narrow passages and steep staircases, adding to the excitement and adventure of the experience.
One of the highlights of the tour is the Great Ice Embankment, a massive wall of ice that stands over 20 meters tall. The ice formations inside the cave are constantly changing, making each visit a unique experience.
Eisriesenwelt Werfen is a must-see attraction for anyone visiting Austria. It is a natural wonder that is both awe-inspiring and humbling, reminding us of the power and beauty of nature.
