Description

The Hochkar Cave, also known as the Hochkar Shaft among experts, was formed in the Dachstein limestone of the Ötscher mountain range around 100,000 years ago. The shaft has a total length of over 650m and a height difference of 130m. These dimensions make it the fifth largest cave in Lower Austria and one of the deepest caves in the province.

The Hochkar Cave is currently closed!
