| Location: |
Göschenental, 6km from Göschenen at the entrance to the Voralptal.
From Göschenen drive towards Göschenenalp to the big turn above Wiggen.
From here follow the trail to the Voralphütte.
In dry times the Voralpreuß has low water, then follow the path to the hill Sand.
Here you see the cave already.
Cross the Voralpreuß and follow the red marks to the cave.
If the Voralpreuß has high water take alternative route ascend directly to the cave
(steeper and bad path).
The ascend takes about 1 hour.
