Top 5 Caves around Sautens

The special thing about the Blue Grotto is the story of its creation: 2000 years ago, in Roman times, people were working diligently here and searching for silver-containing galena. The geologist Peter Gstrein suspects that the fire-setting method was already being used for mining in the first centuries after the birth of Christ; The rock's rock became brittle due to the heating and could therefore be chipped away more easily. This is how the Blue Grotto was created, which is probably unique in Tyrol. The blue grotto is located at the end of the Rosengartenschlucht just before the hiking trail arrives in Hoch-Imst. In the opposite direction from Hoch-Imst, the Blue Grotto can be reached in less than 10 minutes. Imst.at

On the way to the Karröster Alm, you will pass small caves on the wooded mountain slope of the Tschirgant. Don't forget the flashlight!

One of the most precious biotopes in Tyrol can be visited on the edge of Imst town center: the Rosengarten gorges. The Schinderbach excavates the mystical blue cave through the rocky ridges of the low mountain terraces Imster over a length of about 1.5 kilometers. The wooden paths, the rocky stairs and the small rocky tunnels always offer a new glimpse of the wonder that nature has accomplished in the Rosengarten gorges. The entrance to the gorge is also impressive, the houses were partly built in the rocks. The gorge is accessible from May to October, good shoes are necessary for the walk.

The Blue Grotto at the end of the Rosengarten Gorge, which goes back to Roman times is easily accessible for the whole family via the rocky, wild and romantic rose garden gorge. The special thing about the Blue Grotto is the history of its creation: Already 2000 years ago in Roman times people worked hard and searched for silver-containing galena. The geologist Peter Gstrein suspects that the fire-setting method was used as early as the first centuries after the birth of Christ; the stone of the rock became brittle as a result of the heating and could thus be chipped off more easily. This is how the Blue Grotto was created, which is probably unique of its kind in Tyrol. The way to the Blue Grotto is adventurous and wildly romantic; it leads directly through one of the most valuable biotopes in Tyrol, the Rosengartenschlucht. With hammer and chisel, the miners drove tunnels into the stone and created a man-high corridor that measures 35 meters. If you consider that around one centimeter of rock could be removed in one day, you can work out how long it took the miners to achieve such a length: a good three years. It was not until 1670, at the beginning of modern times, that blasting became common.
