Lurgrotte, Show cave and natural wonder in Semriach and Peggau, Austria.
The Lurgrotte extends through 5,975 meters of limestone passages, featuring three distinct drainage levels and numerous mineral formations within the Eastern Alps.
Italian explorer Max Brunello first entered the cave system in 1894, leading to a dramatic rescue mission when seven cavers became trapped by flooding.
The Great Dome chamber measures 120 by 80 meters with a 40-meter height, representing one of Central Europe's largest underground natural spaces.
The cave maintains 10 degrees Celsius with 95 percent humidity throughout the year, with guided tours available from April through October between 10 AM and 3 PM.
The forty-ton stalactite formation known as the Giant stands as the thickest hanging limestone structure discovered in cave systems worldwide.
