    Mountain biking

    Nice cave. Especially recommended: Saturdays from about 18 to 20 clock is here "Sophie at Night". Then you can explore the cave yourself. The entire cave is illuminated in beautiful light, among other things by candles. Admission is, if I remember correctly, 8,50 Euro, but worth it. Beautiful hiking trail back to the castle Rabenstein or continue in the maple valley.

    Hiking

    With its three main caves and winding paths, the Sophienhöhle is one of the most beautiful and largest show caves in Germany. On a guided tour through the Sophienhöhle you can admire the stalactite formations - the so-called sinter flags are particularly beautiful.

    Opening times and admission prices can be found at burg-rabenstein.de/ausflugsspass/sophienhoehle.
