Lurgrotte
Austria's largest water cave, where guided tours showcase curtains of stalactites and a giant stalagmite nicknamed the 'Great Giant.'
The Lurgrotte cave system runs through the Peggau Plateau for about 5 km and is Austria's largest cave. It has entrances at both Peggau and Semriach. A standard guided tour takes about an hour and reveals stalactite curtains, stalagmites of many shapes, and a giant stalagmite called the 'Great Giant.' The cave temperature is around 10°C, so bring a jacket, and the ground can be slippery. Opening hours vary by season. Admission is about 15 euros. The cave is about 25 km from Graz, reachable by car or by train to Peggau station.
