Lippold's Cave

We planned our round so that we passed the Lippoldshöhle twice - THE highlight for the kids and us big kids!!! We took our time to climb and explore all caves extensively in all directions. For us grown-ups it was sometimes only possible to duck. Bring flashlights!!!

Here you can find information about the location and "room design" of the Lippoldshöhle (click on "Lippoldshöhle"): brunkensen.de/sehenswuerdigungen/index.htm

The cave consists of several chambers connected by corridors and a natural rock crevice, the so-called "chimney", which may have originally served as an entrance. The rooms are known as "kitchen", "parlor" and "prison". Numerous beam holes in the rock face suggest wooden attachments.

The right open part is remembered by me from the past as a "horse stable".
