You're standing at the Eisriesenwelt, the World of the Ice Giants, inside the Hochkogel mountain in the Tennengebirge above Werfen. The entrance sits at 1,650 metres above sea level. There's a steel door at the entrance that keeps the cave cold. The moment it opens, a strong rush of cold, heavy air pours out.
