Gasselhöhle, Natural cave in Ebensee, Austria
The Gasselhöhle extends through five kilometers of passages adorned with numerous limestone formations, including stalactites, stalagmites, and cave corals.
The cave, discovered in 1918, received natural monument status in 1931 and opened its underground chambers to visitors in 1933 through the Salzkammergut region.
The Speleological Society of Ebensee manages the cave system, conducting research while maintaining 400 members who document and explore the underground network.
Visitors can access the cave from May through September, with guided tours available on weekends and holidays, requiring a 2.5-hour hike from Rindbach parking area.
The Dome of Pearls contains thousands of cave pearls, with specimens measuring up to 38 millimeters in diameter, representing some of Austria's largest formations.
