Crystal Cave is a cave in Kutztown, Pennsylvania, United States, the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch Country. It was discovered in 1871. Some rock formations in Crystal Cave are a half-million years old. Also, the lowest point in Crystal Cave is 155 feet below the earth's surface. The highest point in the cave is 65 feet below the earth's surface, in an area that is correctly called "Lookout Point", for it gives a breathtaking veiw of 2/3 of the cave. Tours are thirty minutes long. The cave remains at fifty-two degrees, fifty-four degrees, and fifty-six degrees Fahrenheit in different areas all year round. From the main entrance of the cave to the back of the cave, it measures 500 feet long. One rock formation is called "The Upside-down Ice Cream Cone", for the different-colored calcite deposits that look like vanilla ice cream and strawberry ice cream, along with moss that looks like mint ice cream.
