Obertraun is known as a ski area and starting point for tours to the Dachstein area
Further has Obertraun also a big offer for cave tours
The caves Koppenbrüllerhöhle, the gigantic ice-cave Dachstein-Rieseneishöhle, the Mammut-cave and a cave museum are unique attractions
Go by car in an hour from the House Grabler, Altmünster – or by train – via Bad Ischl and Hallstatt to Obertraun to the train station „Obertraun- Koppenbrüllerhöhle“
Walk from there about 1 km to the entry to the cave Koppenbrüllerhöhle, which is really worth seeing
If you want to visit the other caves take the road on the right side to the Krippenstein cable car before you reach the village
The Mammut-cave is in the area of the alpine pasture Schönbergalm, after the first part of the road and a little bit above the ice-cave Dachstein-Rieseneishöhle - both about half an hour walking time away from the cable car
Two hints for the cave: Ask on time for the guided tours and take warm clothes with you also on nice days - it's cold inside!
