The Freinberg cave , also called Fischbacher stalactite cave , is a stalactite cave in the Texingtal , Lower Austria . It is located around four kilometers east-southeast of the village of Texing at the foot of a rock face.

Through the narrow cave entrance in a half-cave, which can only be crossed lying down, one arrives at a 12-meter-long, up to 6-meter-wide and 3-meter-high hall, on whose ceiling and walls sooty sinter formations can be seen.

The Freinberg cave has been listed as an unnamed natural monument by the state of Lower Austria since July 1, 1958 .
