Salzburg & Eisreisenwelt (or something like that)

Okay so there are 2 audiences that we’re addressing here:
The sound of music – nice little movie about perfect little kids that skip in the hills and sing songs and play in the hills and “ahem, It’s wonderful really, it’s a nice little place with a great musical…did I mention its my wife’s favorite musical”
I personally couldn’t wait to get out of Salzburg largely due to the heat we experienced there but more importantly with how we would be able to find complete escape from it when visit the largest ice cave on the planet just about an hour to the south.
Imagine the biggest cave you’ve ever seen, and then imagine something a whole lot bigger. This cave is bigger. Its accessible from Salzburg by a 1 hour train ride, a 15 minute walk, a 20 minute bus, then another 25 minute walk, then a gondola ride, and then another 20 minute walk. And at last you come to this:
Did I mention its 42.5 km deep!!! This cave is dark and huge, its so cavernous winds can push their way out the entrance at 120 km/hr. We felt the icy wind, and then proceeded to tour the first kilometer of it which requires you to hike 1500 stairs to get to where you want to be.
And all along the way you see 25 meter ice stalagtites and stalagmites...
ice walls...

ice shapes...
and ice tunnels...
We froze in there, for about 90 minutes but everyone one of those was worth it.
