Naděje, Ice cave in Lusatian Mountains, Czech Republic
The Naděje Ice Cave extends 30 meters in length with widths between 2 to 4 meters, containing permanent ice formations throughout its chambers.
The Zwickau Mountain Club established an access path to the cave in 1870, installing a wooden trunk descent that was later replaced with a ladder.
The name of the cave translates to 'Hope' in English, while German-speaking locals referred to it as 'Eisloch' for many generations.
The cave maintains temperatures near freezing throughout the year due to its sealed top structure, which prevents air circulation within the formation.
Ice formations within the cave reach thicknesses of up to 2 meters and include various structures such as ice covers, stalactites, and ground ice.
