The fox cave was created in the 18th century during experimental excavations for a suspected silver ore deposit.

In the steep eastern slope of the Mertesberg there is the Fuchshöhle, a 6 m deep earth passage in the dolomite limestone. (Wikipedia)

A short but beautiful footpath winds its way to the cave around the ledge. The Eifelverein Marmagen has placed a small information board about the cave.

Cave is maybe a bit of an exaggeration ... with great going in there is nothing! Still a very nice destination and absolutely worth seeing

Very nice way up to the cave, adventurous descent over nicely mossy rocks.

You have to duck properly to explore the cave more closely.
