However, if you\u2019re willing to tough it out and sacrifice a few hours of sightseeing, standing room is available on a first-come, first-served basis from 4 euros.

The area around Salzburg is full of \u2018white gold\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>The underground sea from which the water has long since evaporated after the tectonic activity has lifted great salt deposits as mountains. 2500 years ago Celts started digging for salt and the mines were the source of salt until 1989. In medieval times they realized it is easier to pump water into small holes they dug, and 6 weeks later pump out the brine. After boiling it only salt was left.<\/p>\n<p>This enabled mass production and the city flourished in baroque time. You can see how mines operated and other details connected to salt mining in Hallein mine at Bad D\u00fcrrnberg. It is 15 kilometers outside the city center, accessible by train or bus in half an hour. A fun tour starts with a ride on a simple train through one of the tunnels. You go to the lower levels via giant wooden slides on your behind. Finally, there is a boat ride across an underground lake.

The fortress was built in three stages over five centuries and was completed around 1500. To reach the castle from the Old Town, you can either hop aboard the Fortress Funicular or, if you\u2019re feeling a little more energetic, enjoy a 15-minute walk to the entrance.\u00a0The funicular station is located in Festungsgasse.<\/p>\n<p>Whilst the 360-degree views from the castle are spectacular there are other reasons to visit Hohensalzburg, too.\u00a0 There are a number of interesting museums within the fortress \u2013 including a marionette museum and a historical exhibition \u2013 as well as staterooms and bed chambers that are furnished with original pieces from the early 16th century. A look-out tower and torture chamber can also be visited.

Among all of the famous attractions located in the old city, Mirabell Palace is a landmark that\u2019s a part of Austrian history and Hollywood fame. Many visitors recognize the palace from The Sound of Music, the 1965 musical that was filmed in Salzburg. In the movie version of the musical, the children sing the song \u2018Do Re Mi\u2019 in the gardens of Mirabell Palace.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The structure was built in 1606 as the home of the Prince-Archbishop\u2019s mistress and the gardens were built out from the palace in 1715. Of all the gorgeous interior rooms, the Marble Hall is the most renowned. It was once the banquet hall of the prince-archbishops but today it\u2019s rented out for lavish events and opulent weddings. The famous angel staircase is adorned with sculptured angels and beloved by brides who are lucky enough to marry in the palace.<\/p>\n<p>The exterior gardens are stunning and full of intricate horticultural designs. They also contain water features and fountains like the Grand Fountain and the famous Pegasus Fountain, a work of sculptor Kaspar Gras.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>One of the best views of the grounds is from the Rose Garden, directly south of the palace. From the hill where you\u2019ll find the rose garden, you have an enchanting view of the Pegasus Fountain and the lower gardens around Mirabell Palace. While the views are incredible throughout, it\u2019s a perfect photo spot to capture the beauty of this Austrian landmark. Mirabell Palace is just one reason why the Altstadt or old city is such a popular destination to visit in Austria and why many visitors choose to book a hotel or <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/robe-trotting.com\/best-salzburg-airbnb-rentals\">Salzburg Airbnb<\/a> nearby.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Mirabell-Palace-Salzburg.jpg\" alt=\"Interesting landmarks in Austria\" class=\"wp-image-20720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Mirabell-Palace-Salzburg.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Mirabell-Palace-Salzburg-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Mirabell-Palace-Salzburg-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Mirabell-Palace-Salzburg-853x640.jpg 853w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Mirabell-Palace-Salzburg-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Mirabell-Palace-Salzburg.jpg\" alt=\"Interesting landmarks in Austria\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-20720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Mirabell-Palace-Salzburg.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Mirabell-Palace-Salzburg-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Mirabell-Palace-Salzburg-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Mirabell-Palace-Salzburg-853x640.jpg 853w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Mirabell-Palace-Salzburg-150x113.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>Mirabell Palace in Salzburg<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"13_Red_Bull_Ring\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"13_Red_Bull_Ring\"><\/span>#13 Red Bull Ring<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Andrew Balfour from GPDestinations<\/p>\n<p>The <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/gpdestinations.com\/red-bull-ring\/\">Red Bull Ring<\/a> is a motor racing circuit near the town of Spielberg in the Styrian region of Austria. The circuit has undergone many changes since being built in the late 1960s, the most significant being when it was taken over and redeveloped by Austrian energy drink giant Red Bull in 2008. Now home to the Austrian Grand Prix for both Formula 1 and MotoGP, the Red Bull Ring attracts large crowds for major motorsport events throughout the year. These events are well organized, ticket prices are reasonable, and the picturesque Styrian hills offer a beautiful backdrop for racing.<\/p>\n<p>Located near several major highways, the Red Bull Ring can be reached from Vienna by car in about 2 hours or Graz in an hour. Trains from all over Austria also serve the nearby town of Knittelfeld. In addition to visiting the circuit for major events, it\u2019s also possible to take a guided tour of the circuit where you can go behind the scenes and visit areas normally off-limits to fans. The Red Bull Ring also offers regular track days and driving experiences, both on track and off-road.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Red-Bull-Ring.jpg\" alt=\"Famous landmarks in Austira\" class=\"wp-image-20700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Red-Bull-Ring.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Red-Bull-Ring-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Red-Bull-Ring-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Red-Bull-Ring-853x640.jpg 853w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Red-Bull-Ring-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Red-Bull-Ring.jpg\" alt=\"Famous landmarks in Austira\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-20700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Red-Bull-Ring.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Red-Bull-Ring-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Red-Bull-Ring-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Red-Bull-Ring-853x640.jpg 853w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Red-Bull-Ring-150x113.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>Red Bull Ring racing circuit<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"14_The_Golden_Roof_Innsbruck\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"14_The_Golden_Roof,_Innsbruck\"><\/span>#14 The Golden Roof, Innsbruck<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Renee Hannes from Dream Plan Experience<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<p>Innsbruck offers visitors a charming historic Altstadt, or old town, due to the impressive 13th\u00a0to 14th\u00a0century Baroque and Gothic buildings.\u00a0One of the most impressive landmarks is The Golden Roof or Goldenes Dachl. As the oldest building in Innsbruck, it got its name due to its fa\u00e7ade. A bay window adorned with 2,657 fire-gilded copper tiles that glisten in the sun.<\/p>\n<p>The building was built in 1420 as a residence for the sovereigns of the day.

Located close to the center of Innsbruck\u2019s historic Altstadt \u2013 just a short walk from the Central Train Station \u2013 St. Anne\u2019s Column towers over the pedestrian mall below. In German, the column is known as Annas\u00e4ule, and it\u2019s pretty easy to spot the column from afar.<\/p>\n<p>Completed back in 1706, the column was originally built to commemorate a significant battle. In 1703, Bavarian troops were ushered out of the Tyrol region as part of the Spanish Succession war. The day the troops were defeated in the area was St. Anne\u2019s Day \u2013 hence the name!<\/p>\n<p>Made from red marble from the area, the landmark is adorned by intricately carved statues with religious significance. The base of the statue features four saints facing the four cardinal directions. At the top of the column, you can spot the statue of Mary with a golden halo around her head.<\/p>\n<p>The column was originally sculpted by Cristoforo Benedetti. Over the years, the original statues have been restored \u2013 and ultimately replaced \u2013 and displayed indoors to protect them from further deterioration.<\/p>\n<p>For those interested, there is plenty of shopping on this pedestrian street \u2013 which is known as Maria-Theresien-Stra\u00dfe.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/st-annes-column-Innsbruck.jpg\" alt=\"Best known landmarks in Austria\" class=\"wp-image-20716\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/st-annes-column-Innsbruck.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/st-annes-column-Innsbruck-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/st-annes-column-Innsbruck-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/st-annes-column-Innsbruck-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/st-annes-column-Innsbruck.jpg\" alt=\"Best known landmarks in Austria\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-20716\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/st-annes-column-Innsbruck.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/st-annes-column-Innsbruck-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/st-annes-column-Innsbruck-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/st-annes-column-Innsbruck-150x100.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>St. Anne\u2019s Column in\u00a0Innsbruck<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"16_Melk_Abbey\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"16_Melk_Abbey\"><\/span>#16 Melk Abbey<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Rachel Rodda from Adventure and Sunshine<\/p>\n<p>The imposing Melk Abbey overlooks the Danube River from a hilltop in the small town of Melk.

But the most famous landmarks and reasons to visit are inside the Abbey.<\/p>\n<p>The library is home to more than 100,000 books and manuscripts. Some of the ancient books are on view in the main library, but most are hidden away in private libraries accessed through a spiral staircase.<\/p>\n<p>Most would agree the top highlight of a visit to Melk Abbey is the church. Opulently decorated, the walls and ceilings are laden with frescoes, marble, sculptures, gold, and artworks. Photography is not permitted inside, but services held in the church throughout the day offer the perfect opportunity to take in the beauty of the space.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Melk Abbey is an easy day trip from Vienna and can be reached independently by train or with one of the numerous tours on offer.<\/p>\n<p>Melk is also a good place to stop if you are\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adventureandsunshine.com\/4-day-family-cycling-trip-danube-austria\/\">cycling the Danube Trail<\/a>.

It\u2019s easy to get there (just a short tram ride from Hauptplatz, the main square in the historic city center) and worth spending the day.<\/p>\n<p>Built c.1625, the castle is one of the finest preserved examples of the Baroque style of architecture in southern Styria. There are 25 staterooms with preserved furnishings, artifacts, and over 600 ceiling paintings. Take the 50-minute tour offered hourly from 10 am to 4 pm to experience just how large and beautifully elaborate the complex is. It\u2019s truly amazing how everything is so well staged as if it is still occupied. Stroll up the tree-lined lane and check out the well-manicured grounds, including the Planetary Garden.<\/p>\n<p>In 2010, Schloss Eggenberg was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site and placed on the Graz Historic Old Town list because of its cultural significance. A visit will take several hours, and you can bring a picnic to enjoy on the grounds after you\u2019ve toured inside. The entrance fee is \u20ac14 (17 USD). Schloss Eggenberg should be on your list of must-dos when visiting Graz in southern Austria.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Schloss-Eggenberg-Graz-Austria-Travlinmad.jpg\" alt=\"Famous landmarks in Austria you must visit\" class=\"wp-image-20725\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Schloss-Eggenberg-Graz-Austria-Travlinmad.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Schloss-Eggenberg-Graz-Austria-Travlinmad-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Schloss-Eggenberg-Graz-Austria-Travlinmad-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Schloss-Eggenberg-Graz-Austria-Travlinmad-853x640.jpg 853w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Schloss-Eggenberg-Graz-Austria-Travlinmad-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Schloss-Eggenberg-Graz-Austria-Travlinmad.jpg\" alt=\"Famous landmarks in Austria you must visit\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-20725\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Schloss-Eggenberg-Graz-Austria-Travlinmad.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Schloss-Eggenberg-Graz-Austria-Travlinmad-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Schloss-Eggenberg-Graz-Austria-Travlinmad-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Schloss-Eggenberg-Graz-Austria-Travlinmad-853x640.jpg 853w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Schloss-Eggenberg-Graz-Austria-Travlinmad-150x113.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>Schloss Eggenberg\u00a0in Graz<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_18_Krimml_Waterfalls\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_18_Krimml_Waterfalls\"><\/span>\u00a0#18 Krimml Waterfalls<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Dymphe from Dymabroad<\/p>\n<p>One of the best landmarks of Austria is the Krimml Waterfalls. This is the largest waterfall in Europe and it has a height of 380 meters. Moreover, the waterfall consists of three stages. Seeing this feat of nature is amazing. The waterfall is spectacular and there are many walking paths to have the best views of it. These walking paths were made at the end of the 19th century. What\u2019s also great is that there is beautiful nature that surrounds the waterfall.<\/p>\n<p>This makes for a much better hiking experience when you go here. For these reasons, it is very popular, and more than 400,000 tourists visit every year. The waterfall is located next to a village called Krimml in the Zell am See District. Moreover, it is located in the High Tauern National Park. The easiest way to reach Krimml Waterfalls is by car. There isn\u2019t a lot of public transport, so I wouldn\u2019t recommend doing that. However, there are buses and trains that go to neighboring towns. When you travel through Austria, a visit to the Krimml Waterfalls is great.

And from the bus station, you will need to walk about 20 minutes to reach the bridge.<\/p>\n<p>The hanging bridge itself was constructed in 2014. It\u2019s 406 meters long and built in the Tibet style.\u00a0 That gained the bridge a prominent place in the Guinness Book of Records as the longest pedestrian bridge in the world built in Tibet style. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It was built at an altitude of 114 meters and from this height, you can enjoy a 360 panoramic view. The bridge is surrounded by breathtaking scenery and dramatic mountain chains. Moreover, on one side of the bridge, you can find the ruins of the 16<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0century Ehrenberg Castle and on the other side of it, the ruins of Fort Claudia built also in the 16<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0century.<\/p>\n<p>The Highline 179 hanging bridge has an entrance fee which is 8 \u20ac.<\/p>\n<p>On the way back you will need to walk all the way to the train station in Reutte, because there is no bus on the way back.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"767\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Highline-179-Austria-The-Globetrotting-Detective.jpg\" alt=\"Historic landmarks in Austria\" class=\"wp-image-20733\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Highline-179-Austria-The-Globetrotting-Detective.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Highline-179-Austria-The-Globetrotting-Detective-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Highline-179-Austria-The-Globetrotting-Detective-768x575.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Highline-179-Austria-The-Globetrotting-Detective-853x640.jpg 853w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Highline-179-Austria-The-Globetrotting-Detective-150x112.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"767\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Highline-179-Austria-The-Globetrotting-Detective.jpg\" alt=\"Historic landmarks in Austria\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-20733\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Highline-179-Austria-The-Globetrotting-Detective.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Highline-179-Austria-The-Globetrotting-Detective-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Highline-179-Austria-The-Globetrotting-Detective-768x575.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Highline-179-Austria-The-Globetrotting-Detective-853x640.jpg 853w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Highline-179-Austria-The-Globetrotting-Detective-150x112.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>The Highline 179 hanging bridge<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"20_Giant_Ice_Caves_in_Werfen\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"20_Giant_Ice_Caves_in_Werfen\"><\/span>#20 Giant Ice Caves in Werfen<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Giant Ice Caves in Werfen, or the Eisriesenwelt, is a natural limestone and ice cave located inside the Hochkogel mountain, about 40 km from Salzburg. Extending more than 42 km, this natural landmark of Austria is considered the largest ice cave in the world. It is visited by more than 200 000 people each year.<\/p>\n<p>The entrance to the caves is impressive, with 20 meters wide and 18 meters high. The tour through the caves takes you to several rooms, with stalagmites, stalactites, and ice formations. The lighting makes everything even more beautiful and impressive.  The ice palace is the further stop of the tour, about 1 km into the cave and 400 meters underground. Besides the huge dimensions, this cave fascinates with its ice palaces of crystalline beauty.<\/p>\n<p>The tour should take you about 1h  to 1h15 to complete. Please note that the temperature inside de caves is normally below zero, so you should bring warm clothes. Unfortunately, pictures inside the cave aren\u2019t allowed.<\/p>\n<p>Looking for more information about Austria?
