Österreich Die Höhlen im Dachstein

Presenting an authentic vintage Austrian poster, likely dating back to the 1930s, enticing travelers to explore the captivating Dachstein region, with a particular emphasis on the mesmerizing Dachstein Caves.

Designed by A. Jahn, this poster features a captivating portrayal of the intricate cave network beneath the Dachstein Alps.

The German text provides practical information for reaching the Dachstein Caves, outlining the convenient two-hour ascent from the Obertraun station (accessible by direct trains from Vienna with connections from Salzburg via Attnang-Puchheim and Bad Ischl). Travelers can expect an effortless climb along the Reitsteig path. At the heart of the cave area, situated at an elevation of 1300 meters above sea level and 800 meters above Lake Hallstatt, you'll find the Schönbergalpenhaus, offering both excellent dining and accommodation options.

"Die Dachsteinhöhlen werden von der Station Obertraun (direkte Züge von Wien: Anschlüsse von Salzburg über Attnang-Puchheim und Bad Ischl) in 2 stündigem, mühelosem Aufstieg (Reitsteig) erreicht. Im Zentrum des Höhlengebietes liegt in 1300 m Seehöhe, 800 m über dem Hallstätter See, das Schönbergalpenhaus (gute Verpflegung u. Unterkunft), von dem die ob ihrer Eiswunder weltberühmte Rieseneishöhle und auch die gewaltige Mammuthöhle unter Führung auf völlig hier führen über das großartige Plateau des gefahrlosen Weganlagen besucht werden. Von Dachsteins Höhenwege zur dicht am Hallstätter Gletscher gelegenen Simonyhütte und zum Guttenberghaus sowie Über- gänge ins Ennstal. Auskünfte bei der Dachsteinhöhlenverwaltung Obertraun."

From this central point, visitors can embark on guided tours to explore the renowned Giant Ice Cave, celebrated for its astonishing ice formations, as well as the immense Mammoth Cave. The caves are accessible via well-maintained pathways across the magnificent plateau.

Beyond the caves, Dachstein offers an array of high-altitude trails leading to attractions like the Simonyhütte, nestled near the Hallstätter Glacier, and the Guttenberghaus. These routes also facilitate crossings into the Ennstal region.

The poster itself remains in impressive overall condition, with vibrant and fresh colors. While there are two tears at the top, they have been carefully mended with archival tape. It's worth noting that the paper is delicate, but we offer the option of linen backing for added preservation if desired.
