Rötelseehöhle, Natural cave monument in Gmunden, Austria.
The Rötelseehöhle is a natural cave near Gmunden that extends about 391 meters through limestone layers with multiple underground passages. The cave displays typical geological features of the Upper Austria region and offers views into the natural karst landscape.
The cave formed over millions of years through water erosion in soluble rock within the Alpine region. This natural carving process shaped the underground structures we see today.
The cave represents a significant element of Upper Austria's natural heritage, contributing to the scientific understanding of regional subterranean formations.
Access to the cave requires contacting local authorities and is not always freely available. Visitors should bring sturdy shoes and a light source to navigate safely through the underground passages.
The cave maintains a steady temperature year-round, creating special conditions for underground organisms. These stable conditions allow unique mineral formations to develop that visitors rarely see elsewhere.
