Hi Shirkant, while it is dark inside Werfen (it is a cave after all) I found the lanterns provided plenty of light and the views of the Alps getting to Werfen are stunning.

Dear Brianna, guess you have strong position in advising people about visiting the Cave. After my own visit I should say that unfortunately could not find any comments whatsoever about difficulty of this trial for elderly people and for those who have problems with legs or spine or heart. This due to walking up steep access route and stairs up to 45 degrees inside the cave itself for about an hour. No stopping for rest inside , one must follow the group, Then going down same way which is not easy for people with walking problems. Gloves are strongly advised to hold on ice railings, not just for protection.
Otherwise, the cave is beautiful ! Something one will never see again.
Regards, Nick
Portugal

Definitely worth a stop, the views inside and out are gorgeous!

The views inside…my word…just beautifully stunning. I can see it’s well worth the trip. I went to Austria a couple of years ago and loved Salzburg but am kicking myself…I never made it as far as here!

It was very other worldly, almost like I was in a Lord of the Rings movie!

I’m a huge fan of any kind of caves so I think I’d enjoy the visit a lot. Need to remember to gi there while next time in Austria. 🙂
