The unique sound experience in the Dachstein Giant Ice Cave Salzkammergut

In August, the Dachstein Giant Ice Cave transforms from a popular excursion destination in the Salzkammergut region to a unique concert hall!
Internationally renowned musicians and cabaret artists from all styles perform here in a special atmosphere and inspire with anything but frosty sounds! 
In the Dachstein Giant Ice Cave - one of the largest ice caves in the world - THE musical highlight of the Salzkammergut takes place every year. The concert series "Eisklang" offers a unique acoustic and visual experience in the mystical Parsifaldom of the Dachstein ice cave. 
In a crystal-clear atmosphere and in front of bizarre ice formations, you can listen to the sounds of a wide variety of styles, from classical music to jazz improvisations and swinging blues and boogie. 
International musicians, some of whom are engaged in world-famous orchestras, transform the unique ambience with brilliant, dreamlike sounds into a concert hall in which one gets goose bumps not only because of the temperatures. 

The Hollerschnapszuzler are the successors of the legendary Goiserer Viergesang, under the direction of Klaus Neuper together with the trumpeter of the Vienna State Opera Fred Gaal.
Atmospheric yodels accompanied on the Schimmel glass grand piano are found in the dreamy and at the same time lively melodies of Haydn's brilliant trumpet concerto.
