Blaue Grotte / Blue Grotto - Hohe Imst, Tirol, Austria - Cave Entrances (Natural) on Waymarking.com

We made the trip up the Gorge (Rosengartenschlucht) today. At the end of the gorge is the Blue Grotto. A cave in which you can stand and there are several chambers. While we in the cave a large group starting a canyoning expedition started here. Nice to see how they went in the narrow gaps and came out on the other side (added a picture of the canyoning as well).

About the Blue Grotto:

"What is special about the Blue Grotto is the history of its origin: 2000 years ago, in Roman times, people were busy working here and looking for silver-containing galena.

The geologist Peter Gstrein suspects that the fire setting method was already used in the first centuries after the birth of Christ; the rock became brittle as a result of the heating and could be chipped off more easily in this way. This is how the Blue Grotto came about, which is probably unique in its kind in Tyrol."
