Fürstenbrunner Quellhöhle, Natural cave system in Salzburg, Austria
The Fürstenbrunner Quellhöhle extends 2200 meters through the Dachstein limestone formations of the Untersberg mountain, featuring numerous underground water channels and passages.
Since 1875, this cave has supplied drinking water to Salzburg city after King Ludwig II of Bavaria granted permission to use 90 Austrian cubic feet per minute.
The cave represents an essential component of Salzburg's infrastructure development, marking the transition to modern urban water management in the 19th century.
Access to this secured cave requires special permission from Salzburg's water supply authorities, as it remains an active source of municipal drinking water.
The cave maintains a constant water output of 50 liters per second even during dry periods, with water temperatures consistently between 5 and 6 degrees Celsius.
