>>Hi Craig,

>>I don't know if there's still a tour or not, but in a small town called Werfen (sp?), just west of Salzburg I think, there was a tour of an ice cave that I found very interesting.
>>The town itself is also very pretty/nice, and out my window at the inn I stayed at there was a castle on a crag that was also neat. A local told me that a Richard Burton movie (Where Eagles Dare???) was shot there. Don't know if there was a tour of the castle available.

>>All this was back in 1977, so things may have changed.
>>
>>I always remember the town as one of the prettiest I've been in.
>>
>>Oh, and Salzburg was darn nice too.
>>
>>cheers, and enjoy your trip.

>Yes there is a tour of both the castle in Werfen and the Eisriesenwelt (Giant Ice World) caves.

Good to hear.
It was also interesting that (back then anyways) the ice cave tour guide lit magnesium strips to light the cave.

cheers
