Kolowratshöhle, Natural cave system in Salzburg, Austria
The Kolowratshöhle extends through 38,000 meters of underground passages within the Untersberg massif at an elevation of 1,391 meters above sea level.
Following its discovery by shepherds between 1842 and 1845, the cave received its first documentation in 1846 through lithographs created by Beda Weinmann.
The cave carries the name of Count Franz Anton von Kolowrat-Liebsteinsky, who funded its development in 1870 while serving as Minister President of Austria.
Visitors reach the cave entrance via the Dopplersteig trail from Rosittenparkplatz, requiring a two-hour ascent covering approximately 1,000 meters in elevation gain.
During the 19th century, the entrance hall contained an ice surface extensive enough to accommodate ice skating activities throughout summer months.
