Birnbachloch
The Birnbachloch is a karst spring near Leogang where water emerges from a cave opening in the limestone bedrock. Karst springs like this one form when rainwater or snowmelt percolates through porous limestone, dissolves it over time, and resurfaces through cave systems often kilometers from where it entered the ground.
