Lamprechtshöhle

THE LARGEST PASSAGE CAVE IN THE WORLD

With a total extension of around 51 kilometers, the Lamprechtshöhle is one of the largest cave systems in Europe. In 1993, speleologists from Poland discovered another entrance at a height of 2,178 meters. This means that the Lamprechtshöhle is currently the largest through cave in the world. In the part of the cave that is open to visitors, you hike around 700 meters into the mountain and overcome a height difference of 70 meters to reach the spacious platform, from which you have an impressive view of a large part of the well-lit cave.
