CAVING

On a cave excursion or caving (actually you "travel" through caves) you immerse yourself in a completely foreign, unknown world: we can only see the way in the light of our headlamps. Climbing, abseiling, sliding on your seat: this is how you move around in a cave.

Depending on the weather, we wade through knee-high water in the cave. During a cave excursion you will experience silence and absolute tranquility inside a mountain. There is no light, it is so dark that the term darkness itself loses its meaning. You can literally not see your hand in front of your eyes. The beam of your headlamp creates the space in front of you.

In a cave time seems to stand still, it is a journey through time.

The tour starts with a walk of about 15 minutes, which leads us to the entrance of the Stollen "cave". After a short break and checking our equipment, our inner-earth adventure begins.

Historical background to the cave:

Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs wurde am Fuße des Ambergs der Bau des weltgrößten Windkanals für die Luftfahrtforschung geplant. Im Windkanal sollten Windgeschwindigkeiten nahe der Schallgeschwindigkeit (Mach 1) erreicht werden. Dieses ambitionierte Projekt sollte zur Entwicklung neuer Flugzeugteile und -technologien beitragen. Bei unsere Tour durchqueren wir die beeindruckenden und geschichtsträchtigen Gänge des Stollensystems. Unsere Route führt uns über spektakuläre Abseilstellen in große Höhlenräume, durch steile Druckstollen hinab vorbei an Notausstiegsstollen. Die verzweigten Wege im Inneren der Erde bieten nicht nur spannende Einblicke in geologische Formationen, sondern auch in die menschliche Ingenieurskunst der Kriegszeit.

Included in the price:

– Taxi transfers from the base to the starting point and back to the base
- Clean and disinfected equipment
– Certified guide
– Hot showers and sanitary facilities
– Free use of the leisure area before / after the activities (football, volleyball court, sun terrace etc.)
