The Fuchshöhle (Fox Cave), also known as Ofterdingen Cave, lies near a small footbridge over the Liederbach stream and can be reached from Gagernring. Legend has it that the minnesinger Heinrich von Ofterdingen lived there in the Middle Ages after returning from the singing competition at Wartburg Castle. However, it is more likely that this small rock grotto below the Gräbenwald forest was created or enlarged at the suggestion of Friedrich von Gagern, who particularly enjoyed spending time there during his visits to Hornau. The Gagern Cave is first mentioned in writing on April 14, 1834.

The Oberauroff Cave near Idstein is an exciting natural highlight for hikers and cyclists, which can be wonderfully integrated into a tour through the Rheingau-Taunus district.

Beautiful little rock formation, two sizes bigger and you could think you were in Saxon Switzerland.

Great rock formation. Not far from the rocks there is also a hut where you can take a nice break and enjoy nature.
