Underworld Melchsee-Frutt
Cave tours Melchsee-Frutt
The underworld of Melchsee-Frutt offers groups a fascinating insight into the hidden karst landscape beneath the mountains - with guided cave tours in summer and winter.
Summer guided tour: Schrattenhöhle & Schildloch
In summer, the whole variety of the "Melchsee-Frutt Underworld" opens up. In addition to the Schrattenhöhle, the Schildloch is also part of the offer. Both caves can be visited in their natural state and offer different, complementary experiences.
The Schrattenhöhle requires stamina and surefootedness, even in summer. It impresses with its varied structure with watercourses, narrow passages, gorges and spacious halls. In addition, the shield hole on the Bonistock offers a shorter, but very contrasting adventure: after a series of crawlways, the cave exit opens up high above the Tannensee lake, followed by an abseil section around 30 meters deep.
