Ice Cave & Water

I couldn't take pic's inside the cave. Here is a picture of the entrance to the cave.
On Sunday, July 20th, it was a day full of "water". We got up early and drove to Werfen, Austria. We took a serious of incline walking, lift, stairs and a long distance up through many clouds (creating a very interesting movie-esk type feeling). We, as a family, went to the worlds largest ice cave Eisriesenwelt. It was amazing! Most of the time I kept saying, "this is so cool!" There were about 6-10 of us who wanted the tour in English, so we had a small sub-group at the front, we got a short explanation and then the guide would say the same information and more in German for the rest of the tour group. I'm very happy it was in English, I was able to learn so much from the tour guide. There were 1400 stairs inside that we took through the first km of the cave. I was amazed at how much white light can do to ice, there were so many amazing colors. Wind and water can create so many beautiful items, I love nature!
After the great tour of the ice cave we went and got some food, which was good because I was very hungry. I'm not sure where we were, but afterwards we paid a man in a hut and took more stairs and saw a river that had carved out so many great spaces. I do not remember the river's name but when I find out, I'll try to update this. The water in the rivers in upper Austria are very different looking, much lighter in color with blues and greens, very cool to look at. Plus with the rain here there were many beautiful tiny waterfalls all over the place, it also made everything muddy for walking in.
Clouds, Ice, River, Rain, all water in different forms and all have a great impact and makes for beautiful sites
