Tischofer Cave, Natural cave in Kaisertal Valley, Kufstein, Austria.
The Tischofer Cave extends 40 meters into the mountain with an entrance height of 8.5 meters, forming a substantial natural cavity in the Kaisergebirge mountains.
Archaeological excavations in the cave revealed bone tools and artifacts dating back 27,000 years, establishing it as the oldest documented human settlement site in Tyrol.
The cave served as a strategic hideout and weapons storage location for local resistance fighters during the Napoleonic Wars in the early 19th century.
Visitors need to climb 307 steps from Ebbs and follow the Kaiser Path with cable railings to reach the cave entrance in the Kaisertal valley.
The cave contains significant paleontological findings, including skeletal remains of cave bears and prehistoric tools made from their bones during the Paleolithic period.
