Dreidärrischen-Höhle, Natural cave in Gaaden, Austria.

The Dreidärrischen-Höhle extends 230 meters in length with a vertical rise of 19 meters, featuring limestone formations shaped by natural erosion processes.

In 1926, the cave opened to visitors with electric lighting installations and received over 5000 visitors during its first month of operation.

The name derives from the local dialect word 'därrisch' meaning deaf, possibly referring to three large rock formations near the entrance.

The cave remains closed since 2000 to protect its sensitive ecosystem, which includes several protected bat species that inhabit the cavern.

Located at 537 meters above sea level in the Siebenbrunnental valley, this cave served as a ritual site during the Hallstatt period.
