The Höllgrotten –
a natural wonder right on your doorstep
Nestled in the idyllic Lorzentobel valley in Baar are the Höllgrotten Caves – one of the most impressive natural wonders in Central Switzerland. These stalactite caves were formed around 3,000 years ago and continue to fascinate visitors today with their bizarre rock formations, glittering stalactites, and mysterious subterranean lakes. The easily accessible circular path through the colorfully illuminated caves offers an unforgettable experience for all ages – whatever the weather.
