Explore Lamprecht's Cave, one of Europe’s largest cave systems, and discover vast chambers, fascinating rock formations and legendary stories deep inside the mountain.
Lamprecht's Cave, located in the Salzburger Saalachtal valley between Weißbach near Lofer and St. Martin, is one of the most impressive natural attractions in the region. With a total length of around 62 kilometres, it is among the largest cave systems in Europe and is known worldwide among cave researchers.

Around 700 metres of the cave are accessible as a show cave, allowing visitors to experience the mysterious underground landscape safely. Well-maintained walkways, steps and bridges guide you through impressive halls, narrow passages and past unusual rock formations. Inside the cave, temperatures remain constant at around 6 to 8 °C throughout the year, creating a cool and unique atmosphere.

Lamprecht's Cave is also surrounded by legend. According to local folklore, the robber knight Lamprecht once hid a valuable treasure deep inside the cave. These stories add an extra sense of mystery to the visit and have fascinated people for centuries.

A particularly atmospheric experience is a lantern tour, where you explore the cave in soft light and discover its quiet, magical character in a completely different way. Whether as a family excursion, a refreshing summer outing or an adventure in bad weather, a visit to Lamprecht's Cave is truly memorable.
