The Odelsteinhöhle in Johnsbach is a natural cave 470 m long. Besides the cave experience - narrow passages alternate with smaller and larger halls - there are impressive sinter columns and also greenish-blue aragonite crystals to admire.The Odelstein Cave can be visited from spring to autumn, registration required at the Kölblwirt Inn on +43 3613 216 or koelblwirt@aon.at.

Author’s recommendation

On the way back, visit the historic mountaineers' cemetery (next to GH Donnerwirt), the willow dome and the ecological footprint (on the Gesäuse federal road).

Destination

Kölblwirt

Turn-by-turn directions

Starting from the car park at Gasthof Kölblwirt, we first cross the Johnsbachtal valley in the direction of Schattseite. The approach to the Odelsteinhöhle entrance is steep and requires good shoes. Again and again, beautiful views open up into the Johnsbachtal. The way back is more comfortable and leads us back to the Kölblwirt car park.

Der Aufstieg über den Steig ist durch den Schnee schwer in Mitleidenschaft gezogen. Das letzte Stück zur Höhle ist nur sehr schwer passierbar und die Leiter beim Ausstieg ist weggebrachten
