Ice Age ice in a summer mountain — 7500 cubic metres frozen since the last glaciation
A fantastic ice cave first documented in 1863. One of only 10 caves of this kind in Europe — filled with 7500 cubic metres of ice, at a constant 0°C. The ice is an altitude of 1150m, dating back to the Ice Age. Bell-shaped ice formations gleam in the lamplight.
