Katerloch, Limestone cave in Naas, Austria
The Katerloch cave contains over 4000 stalactite formations within its extensive network of chambers, including the expansive Fantasy Hall measuring 120 meters long.
The first documented exploration of Katerloch occurred in 1899 by Adolf Mayer, followed by Hermann Bock's scientific survey conducted in 1908.
The cave's name originates from the local owl species Eulenkater, though German speakers often misinterpret it as referring to a male cat.
Visitors must schedule appointments between April and October, with tours lasting 120 minutes and requiring adequate physical fitness to navigate 400 stairs.
Among the cave's features stands a remarkable stalagmite measuring 22 meters in height with a 46-meter circumference, ranking among Europe's largest formations.
