Hölloch Expedition Water Dome
Discover the fairytale world of the Hölloch on this day expedition under the safe guidance of a qualified cave guide. The 200 km of corridors that have been surveyed so far conceal a unique and fascinating variety of forms. Minimum age 10 years.
On this expedition you will follow the huge main corridor to the Giant Hall. From there you will reach the Dombiwak where you will have a well-earned lunch break. Afterwards you visit the water dome, a 30 meter high underground waterfall. There you will learn the “Niphargus”, the small cave crayfish that has felt very at home here for thousands of years. From there it gradually goes back on the way back. We recommend this expedition especially to those participants who want to get to know the huge Hölloch cave world, but who don’t dare the 2 hours longer expedition to the Glitter Gate due to their fitness. A good basic fitness is a must here and you will only be accompanied by qualified SSH cave guides.
Arrival: By car: Parking at the rest. Hölloch, Stalden 15, 6436 Muotathal. By public transport: By train to Schwyz, then by bus no. 1 to the stop “Hölloch, Muotathal”.
Bring along: Warm socks, thermal underwear, possibly a turtleneck sweater and a pair of leggings. Please wear warm clothes, e.g. jeans, pullover, faux fur jacket; alternatively you can rent a cave suit for CHF 20.00 on site.
