The Spannagel Caves at Hintertux Glacier are an ideal day trip destination for all you daring adventurers out there. The entrance to these natural caves can be found at the Spannagel House.

Only 10 minutes away from Section 2 of the Zillertal Glacier Lifts, the caves are an incredible 10 km in length, making them the largest natural caves in Tirol. Wearing protective jackets and helmets, tours with a state-certified cave guide are a very special experience. 

It is already well known that the main Alpine Ridge consists mainly of prehistoric rock. One particularly special geological feature, however, is a marble seam (crystalline limestone) that leads from Hintertux in a southerly direction to the Spannagel House. It is in this marble layer that the Spannagel Cave system and its many natural wonders can be found. www.spannagelhoehle.at

Alpine Animal World – unique worldwide At the foot of the Nordkette Alps, high above the rooftops pf the provincial capital of Tyrol, Alpenzoo Innsbruck (750 m) sprawls over the side of the mountain with its 2000 animals belonging to 150 different species. Designed as a so-called „Theme Zoo“, its near- natural enclosures, terrariums and cold-water aquarium are home to around 50 alpine species of fish and the world's largest collection of alpine animals. Elk and bison, who incidentally roamed the Tyrolean landscapes after the last Ice Age, can also be found at the Alpenzoo. The crowd-pulling favourites of bear, wolf and lynx are just as well represented as alpine ibex, chamois and arctic hare. The bird world is exemplified by a wide variety of species, ranging from its smallest member, the kinglet, to the largest bird in the Alps, the mighty bearded vulture. Endangered breeds of animals can be seen at the Show Farm and the "Bear Playground" is the perfect place for younger visitors to let off steam! Alpenzoo in Innsbruck – a special animal experience for the whole family, especially during the warm season, when the alpine wildlife show themselves from their most lovable side with their offspring.
