Two visitors admire the colorful, subterranean wonderland of this Swiss grotto. Discovered at the end of the 19th century, the "Hell Grottoes" are a series of limestone caves located near the city of Baar (approximately 10 miles from Zurich). Small lakes, stalagmites and stalactites of various colors give each cave its own unique character.
