Top 5 Caves 레알프 주변

You should be sure-footed and have a head for heights, so let's go, but only in dry conditions. An old military access point leads directly up to the artillery observation post, or rather, the Bözstrasse.

Only for sure-footed hikers with a head for heights. An old, poorly maintained military trail with a small cavern passage and ladder section. Up the Schöllenen Gorge directly to the old artillery observation post and the Bäzstrasse. Quite an adventure.

very interesting story, the secret tunnel, in case of emergency, if it had been necessary in case of war, to blow up the Devil's Bridge, then this would have been the connection

The Rhone Glacier (sometimes also called Rotten Glacier) is a valley glacier in the source area of the Rhone in the extreme northeast of the canton of Valais in the central Alps of Switzerland. It is almost eight kilometers long, has an average width of about two kilometers and covers an area of about 15 km². The glacier was a major tourist attraction, especially in the 19th and early 20th centuries, due to its tongue, which at that time still extended far down into the valley near Gletsch.

The tunnel offers an interesting route to the station and at the entrance you can see an instrument used to measure tunnel construction.

A glacier educational trail leads through the picturesque high mountain scenery along the glacier lake to the ice grotto near the glacier tongue. For almost 200 years, this has been carved into the glacier practically every year and inside you can experience a "blue miracle" because the grotto shines in a wonderful blue light. Despite the enormous melting of the glacier, the Rhone Glacier is still almost 9 km long and up to 200 m thick. The glacier movement at the level of the ice grotto in the tongue area is 30 - 40 m annually or up to 10 cm per day; nowhere else in Europe can you get as close to a glacier as in the ice grotto in the Rhone Glacier.

The entrance area with ticket office and souvenir shop is the entrance to the Belvédère ice grotto and the Rhone Glacier. The grotto has been carved into the ice here every year since 1870 - at 2300 m above sea level you can experience the Rhone Glacier up close.

Important note for Rhone glaciers !!! "Very dynamic situation on the glacier tongue of the Rhone Glacier. On July 20/21 it came to Collapse of a water-filled cavity in the glacier (approx. 50 x 10 x 10m). More collapses can to be expected. In addition, rapid enlargement of the lake due to calving of the glacier. Loss of glacier thickness currently estimated in the decimeter range per day. the lateral ones Slopes are destabilized by the retreating ice (scree slides and falling rocks). Changes in the glacier and the lateral slopes are visible from day to day. So trickier Access from the "mainland" (cave entrance and surroundings) to the glacier. Staying on the glacier tongue (up to several 100 m from the lake shore!) must be considered risky be assessed for possible further collapses. Applies to all tours with access via the Rhone Glacier and crevasse rescue exercises, etc same." http://www.gletscher.ch/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Hinweis-Risiken-Rhonegletscher-2022-.pdf
