Windlöcher, Natural cave in Großgmain, Austria
The Windlöcher cave features a vertical entrance shaft that descends 15 meters into a large fissure system within the mountain formation.
This geological formation developed over thousands of years through the erosion of limestone rocks by water and temperature variations in the Alpine region.
Local speleologists document and study the cave system to understand the geological processes that shaped the Austrian Alpine landscape.
Access to the cave requires proper climbing equipment, including ropes and harnesses, as well as experience in vertical cave exploration techniques.
The cave contains a narrow, completely calcified vertical passage that presents significant technical challenges for explorers during both descent and ascent.
