The largest part, however, will always remain hidden from people and light. In the **Midnight Dome** , a multivisual image projection gives you an insight into this fascinating world without the sun. You will experience the cave explorers in underground **gorges**, **shafts** and **ravines**. You will encounter cave animals and small forms of unimagined beauty. You will return to daylight enriched by the experience of a speleologist. **CAVE TREKKING** or **CAVING** is also carried out mainly in the Mammut Cave. Under the guidance of an experienced cave guide, you follow in the footsteps of the cave explorers. Wearing an overall made of top-quality material and secured by a rope, you climb parts of the cave that are far from the normal route. **NEW:** Guided tours in 7 foreign languages at Dachstein Krippenstein in the Mammut Cave with the **free audio guide app "Hearonymus"** for smartphones. **[Experience a 360° panoramic tour on the Dachstein Krippenstein...](http://www.dachstein-panorama.at/?s=pano68541&utm_source=tourdata&utm_medium=textlink&utm_campaign=tourdata360tour)** [ Contact ](#ttgCollapseKontakt) ---------------------------------- **Mammoth cave** Dachstein Höhlenwelt, Winkl 34 4831 Obertraun Phone +43 50 140Show no.
