Guided tour of the Höllgrotten caves near Baar: A guide shows groups the stalactite and stalagmite-filled caves in the Lorzentobel.
The Höllgrotten tour in Baar begins at the entrance to the Höllgrotten next to the kiosk. A guide leads the group through the stalactite caves in the Lorzentobel, which were formed over thousands of years by limestone-rich springs and discovered in the late 19th century during tuff quarrying. Stalactites and stalagmites in various shades give each cave its own unique character. The caves are electrically lit and connected by pathways.
The guided tour is suitable for corporate events, club outings, and school groups, and is a great activity even in rainy weather. Tours are offered daily from April through October, and upon request through mid-November. Each guide can accommodate up to 12 people; multiple groups depart at 10-minute intervals. Admission fees are not included and are paid on site. Sturdy shoes and a rain jacket are recommended. The Höllgrotten restaurant is about a 10-minute walk away for a meal afterward.
