Frauenmauerhöhle, Natural cave system in Styria, Austria.
The Frauenmauerhöhle extends through 20,215 meters of underground passages with a vertical rise of 595 meters in the Hochschwab mountains.
First explored by miners from Eisenerz in 1820, the cave received its initial mapping in 1834 and became connected to Langsteinhöhle in 1961.
Several memorial crosses mark locations where visitors lost their lives, including three tourists in 1930 who entered without adequate lighting.
Guided tours operate from June to September, covering 644 meters in length with a vertical rise of 125 meters through various chambers.
The cave features an ice chamber near its western entrance and contains vast spaces including the notable Walpurgisdom formation.
