The rock tunnel is located shortly before the end of the north face trail, coming from the Alpspitze via the east ridge towards the Alpspitzbahn mountain station. A headlamp is recommended, as the ground can be damp and slippery in places.

what an elaborate design, pompous but also beautiful

Tunnel on the north face trail

Simple, but be careful on your head! There might be water in the tunnel, and that's not the only reason hiking boots make sense.

Super beautiful 🥰 you find yourself completely transported into a fairytale world - simply fantastic

Unfortunately, the Bear Cave can only be viewed from a distance. Due to the unstable rock face, the cave is not accessible.

The surcharge for the 15-minute guided tour is definitely worth it. Unfortunately, filming is not permitted. A homage to Richard Wagner. What was created here is truly unique. After a long restoration phase, the grotto is open again. Visit on July 29, 2025.

The Venus Grotto is an artificial stalactite cave built into the mountain starting in 1875. The stage design for the "Venus Grotto" is from Act I of Richard Wagner's opera "Tannhäuser" and was created precisely according to his stage directions. The enormous painting depicts the Venusberg scenery. Between 1878 and 1881, the grotto received its state-of-the-art electric lighting. With the help of interchangeable colored glass panels, the grotto could be bathed in various colors. With its then highly innovative illusion technique, the Linderhof Grotto is one of the most fascinating examples of the 19th-century quest for the most perfect Gesamtkunstwerk (total work of art). The Venus Grotto reopened on April 11, 2025, after 10 years of restoration and an investment of approximately 60 million euros. Be sure to take the guided tour and experience the grotto live.
