Schellenberg Ice Cave

The Schellenberg Ice Cave is a cave located in the Berchtesgaden Alps in Upper Bavaria, Germany, near the Austrian border.

It has an estimated ice volume of about 60,000 cubic meters and has been run as a show cave since 1925.

Closed between October and May,[1] the ice cave can only be reached after a several-hour walk from the valley below, or a slightly shorter walk from the mountain station of the Untersbergbahn.

It is one of two show caves in Germany without electric light, illuminated only by carbide lamps carried by the visitors.

It is named after Marktschellenberg, a nearby town in Berchtesgadener Land district.
