Access to the cave

Dripstone caves are located outside of the town. Access by car is not possible. Vehicles may be parked in the town. The caves can be accessed in the following ways:

  • Travel with the cave bus
    There are regular buses from the ticket office on the main square to the cave entrance. Get in the bus and enjoy the 30minute drive up to the mountain. From the main square we will drive across the Woschitzgraben up to the Unterschäffler-Alps. During the ride you can enjoy breathtaking views of the mountains and the valley.
  • Pathway to the cave
    You can combine your visit to the Obir dripstone caves with hiking. From the parking lot in Zauchen the climb to the cave entrance, at 1078 metres, takes about 1.5 hours. Return with the cave bus is possible, however a reservation is required.
