I've heard there are amazing ice caves near Salzburg, but I can't find any info about them- only the salt mines. Thank you

I think I just answered my own question. I googled "ice caves near Salzburg" and found out they are in Hallstat. One clip was from Rick Steves' book! But I still don't know if they are really worth the trip. Has anyone been there?
Thanks.

We've been to the ones in Hallstatt. It was a neat experience. You have to take a gondola up the mountain and from the station it's still a good 15 minute hike up to the caves. You have to take a guided tour of the caves. And you aren't supposed to take any pictures, although we took our tour with a large Chinese group, and they were taking pictures like crazy the whole time.
