The tour takes one hour from the 1958 New Entrance to the Thermal Spring and back through the Old Entrance to the Daylight. The cave visitor, armed with helmet, overalls, boots and carbide lamp, must not be afraid to climb over loamy steps and 4 iron ladders.

At a temperature of +13 degrees C and 100% humidity, warm clothing is not required. For children under 10 years and people with heart and circulatory problems, the cave visit is not recommended.

Rock climbing

The Eisenstein Cave, whose entrances are located at 380 m above sea level, is the most important thermal cave on the western edge of the southern Vienna Basin (Fischau Mountains). The 73 m deep and around 2 km long, shaft-like cave is located on a fracture zone parallel to the slope (thermal line) in young tertiary breccia (sausage marble). The thermal spring at the deepest point of the cave has a temperature of around 15.5 °C. Collapsed blocks and corrosion forms characterize the fissures richly decorated with coral and popcorn sinter.

Hiking

A thermal cave can not be found every day. This is even to visit (only with guidance).
