Nixhöhle, Natural cave monument in Frankenfels, Austria.
The limestone cave extends for 1,410 meters through mountain passages, featuring multiple chambers with a vertical range of 70 meters.
The cave formation resulted from substantial tectonic movements in the mountain, creating a system of breaks, folds, and distinctive geological structures.
Local residents named the cave after its snow-white mountain milk deposits, known in regional dialect as 'Nix', which cover substantial sections of walls.
The cave entrance requires a 20-minute uphill walk from the parking area on LB 39, with guided tours available from May through October.
The cave contains remarkable formations including the Madonna figure, the Cascade Falls, and the Fairy Lakes within its underground passages.
