Eisriesenwelt Caves

After 2 - 20 minute treks and a 10 minute cable car ride you arrive at the entrance.
The cable car ride is straight up the scariest I have ridden.
High up on the mountain top is the entrance to the ice caves.
As you enter the caves you are hit with a huge gust of cold wind!
42 Km explored ice caves, frozen waterfalls, ice sculptures, towers and formations make up the ice caves.
One must climb 700 stairs to the highest point of the caves, then descend 700 stairs to the entrance. Temp throughout the caves is at freezing point, but the climb certainly kept us warm.
