The small market town in Pongau is known for the "Eisriesenwelt" - the largest ice cave in the world. What hardly anyone knows: In 1969, the coin treasure of Werfen was found here, about a thousand around 1535 buried gold and silver coins of the early modern period. So it may be worthwhile to take a close look. Also as a film backdrop served the picturesque place. In the mid-20th century, famous films such as Die Eins lonely or Parts of The Sound of Music were filmed here.
