The Schellenberger Eishöhle, located at 1,570 meters in the Untersberg massif, is Germany’s largest accessible ice cave. Known for its massive ice formations and chambers, the cave is a must-see for nature enthusiasts. Accessible only on foot, it offers a rewarding hike through stunning alpine landscapes, with routes via the Toni-Lenz-Hütte or the Thomas-Eder-Steig. Guided tours using traditional carbide lamps provide a unique experience. Be prepared with warm clothing and sturdy shoes, as the cave remains near freezing even in summer.

Visited around 2015. A long hike UP the mountain and a cable car ride from the car park! Quite steep but the views all the way up are good, we were in thick cloud and actually walked through it! The cave visit is with a guide and only in German..didnt spoil it tho.. NOT allowed any photography either.. We were provided with caps and lamps and we go on another steep climb! FANTASTIC in spite of no photography

Well with the visit! The tour is very informational. During the summer months, there's always a guide waiting there, even if it's raining (only in a storm do the tours not happen ). The ice is melting fast, so visit while you still can. I hiked here from where the cable car drops you off, which took about 1.5 hrs, then kept going to the Toni-Lenz Hüte and hiked down from there (another 1.5 hrs back).

For casual hikers going from untersbergbahn, be prepared to set aside 5-6 hours for the journey back and forth. Payment by cash only, it was a fun and interesting place. English scripts were provided and the guide was nice. We went there in shorts and tshirt and only brought an outer shell and it was sufficient for us. But many people brought changes of clothes to prepare for the cold and changed in the open.

The hike is...
