Review:
Austria’s Dachstein Ice Caves have been thoroughly modernized with a light show, rope bridge and giant animated cave bears, yet offer one of the most accessible looks at the thousands year old natural cave structure, formed as water seeped through limestone cracks and froze. Tours begin above ground with a twenty minute walk to the cave’s entrance, and continue underground with a 50 minute guided journey. Keep in mind that cave temperatures stay steady below freezing at approximately 29 degrees. Warm up after the tour by browsing the exhibits at the adjacent museum, where you’ll learn about the area’s geological history and the impact of climate change.
