The Spannagel Cave at the Hintertux Glacier is Europe’s highest altitude public-accessible cave and a very worthwhile day trip destination for families with children.

Unique
marble cave

 With a measured length of about 13 km it is the largest rock cave system in the Central Alps. In the regular show cave tour(Tour 1) you can see about 500 metres of the cave.

Fully equipped

All visitors are equipped with helmets, raincoats and (optionally) rubber boots during the tour. The family-friendly natural monument Spannagel Cave is also ideal for visiting in bad weather and is therefore a varied excursion destination in Tyrol Austria!
