Let’s plunge into an epic adventure!!!

The Hölloch caverns in the Muotathal are with its 192 km (!) known length one of the largest cavern systems worldwide!

IAESTE invites you to an unforgettable experience. Join for one day underground and explore this natural architecture in an advanterous way.
