The Witeleloch was first described in a newspaper article around 1907 by archaeologist and amateur geologist Gero von Merhart, who used the name Elisabethhöhle. In 1922, the cave was described by Josef Blumrich, a teacher from Bregenz.

The cave has been designated a geological natural monument since April 1979.

The path that leads past the impressive Witeleloch natural monument is a blue and white marked alpine path that requires surefootedness and a head for heights. It is a super nice, narrow, partly quite exposed path along the rock. The view of these rocks is just super beautiful and impressive, I love such views and the way is just cool!

The first meters behind the impressive triangular portal are still accessible in daylight, the inner parts of the karst cave only with artificial lighting. At the entrance to the cave there is a small information board with an overview drawing.

The hiking trail (Kapfweg) to the Witeleloch is partly steep, exposed, but easy to walk on. The cave itself should only be visited with good caving equipment.
