THE GIANT CAVE
AT THE MOVIES AND ON ARTE

The Riesending Cave ('Giant Cave') is by far Germany's deepest and longest shaft cave. The rocky tunnels wind their way down for almost 25 km into the legendary Untersberg Mountain with a drop of 1200 meters, through spectacular underground landscapes evoking images from The Lord of the Rings or the stories by Jules Verne. Five highly skilled speleologists take us on a first and exclusive journey into one of the world’s most challenging caves as they search for its ending.
Released in cinemas on 1st July. Now on television and available on DVD
