Best Hikes to Hohfels Prehistoric Dwelling Cave

Tips

  • This rock is still a bit scary for me, since I visited it for the first time shortly before it collapsed. ( No , I am not overweight ;-) )

    - If you stay here a bit, you can get an impression of why this rock was such a good address for our ancestors.
    Well protected, close to the water and a view of the plain, it is definitely an almost perfect base camp for early hunting nomads.

    The spatial proximity of the federal sandstone and limestone formation is geologically interesting.

  • The Hohfels is a limestone reef and an open cave with a narrow passage. It is not easy to visit the altitude because of the risk of collapse. Wild animal bones, ceramic vessels and jewelry were found here, which suggest a human dwelling in the high Middle Ages.
