Koppenbrühlerhöhle, Natural monument cave in Obertraun, Austria
The Koppenbrüllerhöhle features underground water channels through the Dachstein mountains, with a large spring and seasonal water flows at its entrance point.
During the reign of Empress Maria Theresia, the cave provided shelter to Franz Engl, a deserter who received food supplies from his friend Hofer Sef.
Dr. Friedrich Simony conducted geological studies in the cave, contributing to modern geology through his research and documentation of the first blind cave beetle.
The cave maintains a constant temperature of 6°C, requiring visitors to wear warm clothing during the guided tours that operate from May to September.
During snowmelt and heavy rainfall, the dry riverbed in the Crocodile Hall transforms rapidly into a rushing mountain stream within minutes.
