The special thing about the Blue Grotto is the story of its creation: 2000 years ago, in Roman times, people were working diligently here and searching for silver-containing galena. The geologist Peter Gstrein suspects that the fire-setting method was already being used for mining in the first centuries after the birth of Christ; The rock's rock became brittle due to the heating and could therefore be chipped away more easily. This is how the Blue Grotto was created, which is probably unique in Tyrol.

A cave where it drips wet from the ceiling. Very nice. Exciting for children.
