Repolusthöhle, Cave system in Frohnleiten, Austria.

The Repolusthöhle extends over 66 meters in length and features multiple chambers with varying elevation differences between +2.98 and -4.72 meters.

Discovered in 1910 by miner Anton Repolust, the cave contains evidence of human habitation dating back approximately 300,000 years through ancient fire traces.

Archaeological excavations in 1948 uncovered more than 2000 stone tools, bone implements, and ceramic remnants from different historical periods.

The cave site, located north of Peggau in the Badlgraben region of Styria, requires special permission for access as it remains closed to regular visitors.

Researchers recovered over 5000 mammal bones, including cave bears, wild boars, beavers, badgers, and wildcats, alongside possible ancient necklaces made from wolf teeth.
