The resemblance of the Fohlenhaus to a horse sculpture is unmistakable. It is fitting that such a sculpture symbolizes the prehistoric finds in the Lone Valley. In this area of the Lone Valley, the Fohlenhaus with its steeply rising rock needle is a true highlight of the Ostalb.

The Fohlenhaus is a walk-in cave and is located close to the Lone between Langenau, Bernstadt and Neenstetten in the Alb-Donau district. The cave got its name from the arrangement of the two cave mouths in a nearly 20 meter high rock, which, with a little imagination, reveals a foal.

Hiking

The Fohlenhaus Stone Age Cave in the Lone Valley is a fascinating destination for nature and history enthusiasts. This impressive karst cave once served as a shelter for Stone Age people and today offers a glimpse into times long past. With its distinctive shape and special charm, it exudes a sense of mysticism.
