Miralucke, Natural monument cave in Muggendorf, Austria
Miralucke is a cave situated at the eastern base of Unterberg that winds through dolomitic limestone with multiple interconnected chambers. The interior features different levels linked by a natural bridge pathway that leads to a chapel area.
The cave underwent systematic exploration in 1927, which led to documentation of its underground passages and water systems. This early mapping work made the site known and understood for future visitors.
The name Miralucke connects to a local legend about a girl named Mira that has captured people's imagination for generations. This story remains woven into how visitors and locals speak about and remember the place.
The cave entrance is quite low and narrow, so visitors should come prepared with proper footwear and move carefully on slippery surfaces. Access involves stairs and pathways that can become slick when wet.
The cave contains two siphon sections deep inside that can only be crossed with diving gear or boats, revealing just how far the passages extend. These flooded sections demonstrate the extreme nature of what lies beneath the surface.
