Excursions 
Don't try this one without a guide - you will easily get lost! The 192
km of caves place the Hölloch in 4th position on the international cave
ratings list - something which would surprise mountain farmer Alois
Ulrich, who found the first entry hole and began the first explorations
in the middle of the Muotatal karst rock formations, way back in 1875.
Today, professional guides take visitors from the Hölloch centre in
Muotatal above Schwyz into the cool underworld - only 6° warm - with
its fantastic rock formations, fossilizations and caverns.
You can count on a little more sunshine during a trip into the Bödmeren
natural forest, further down the Silberen Twärenen karst area. Also a
record-holder, its 600 hectares are home to western Europe's largest
spruce forest.
