Τα 20 καλύτερα σπήλαια Hemer

Η σπηλιά πολιτισμού Balver εντυπωσιάζει ήδη από το πρώτο βήμα: ένας τεράστιος, φυσικός θόλος ύψους έως και έντεκα μέτρων, ο οποίος χρησιμοποιήθηκε από την παλαιολιθική εποχή και σήμερα θεωρείται εξαιρετικός χώρος εκδηλώσεων. Εκεί που κάποτε οι Νεάντερταλ και οι σπηλαιώδεις αρκούδες έβρισκαν καταφύγιο, σήμερα απολαμβάνεις συναυλίες, θέατρο και την παραδοσιακή γιορτή των σκοπευτών, με ακουστική που δεν παρομοιάζεται. Η σπηλιά είναι προσβάσιμη μόνο στο πλαίσιο εκδηλώσεων ή ξεναγήσεων, αλλά και μόνο η θέα της πανίσχυρης εισόδου αποκαλύπτει γιατί γοητεύει ως η μεγαλύτερη ανοιχτή σπηλιά-αίθουσα της Ευρώπης. https://www.sauerland.com/de/neusta-pois/balver-hoehle-europas-groesste-kulturhoehle

Large cultural cave with a restaurant right next door. The cave is said to have great acoustics. Unfortunately it was closed when we were there.

A beautiful little cave a flashlight would be an advantage but not essential. Back to the car was also a beautiful stream that you can hike along

Unfortunately, like all rocks in the Hönne Valley, it is closed for climbing.

cultural events are held regularly in the Balver cave

The Balver Cave is the largest open cultural cave in Europe with an entrance portal that is 11 meters high and 18 meters wide. In the huge hall, which is almost 90 meters deep and splits into two arms after 54 meters, around 2,000 people can celebrate or experience the unique acoustics and atmosphere at concerts. Caves only exist in limestone. This grew from dead corals in a warm sea around 360 million years ago. The enormous forces of the earth's interior fold, raise and lower the originally crack-free mass limestone. Penetrating water dissolves the lime, widens the cracks into crevices and cavities - this is how our cave was formed over tens of millions of years. During the ice ages 100,000 to 20,000 years ago, mud was deposited in the Balver Cave. The cave clay filled the cave almost to the ceiling. The farmers recognized the high fertilizer value of the phosphate-containing clay and brought it to their fields. This is how the impressive cave space was uncovered - a rock dome. During later excavations, skeletons of local animals, such as mammoths and cave bears, and around 40,000 artifacts were found.

Very nice large cave, with many side passages, you should have a torch with you.
