The Dobšinská
Ice Cave in the high Tatras is located about an hour and a half drive
south from Poprad. It is a big cave and the guided tour includes hundreds of
steps. It is especially recommended for those who never visited an ice cave!
Here’s the area map of the cave. It is best to
check the cave’s website for the up-to-date
information. Get dressed well, don’t forget gloves, hats or ear warmers.
The access to the cave is via path going up
from the parking lot, which is located near hotesl/restaurants and souvenier
booth. Expect some walk uphill to get to the cave, here’s the area topography.
If you think that you’re smart to go to a cave
on a rainy day (like us), well…the walk to the cave is quite long and is
outside, on an unpaved path.
Here’s the cave visitors center building.
There’s also a small souvenir shop and a cafeteria. Entrance is in groups with
a guide. The tickets have the time of the tour on them.
The entrance to the cave is on the side,
there’s a small convered area to wait.
When you enter the cave you need to go down a
lot of stairs in an ice-tunnel.
Until
you reach a hall with the cave’s ice-sign.
There are many more stairs in the cave with
some bigger halls.
Here are
some of the sights in the cave.
and there are more stairs, also up…
