      The cave is currently closed for construction work, probably until late summer 2023.

        The Altensteiner Höhle is located below the Altensteiner Park in the Schweina district of the city of Bad Liebenstein in Thuringia.

        It is considered to be the longest cave in Thuringia.

        It was discovered in 1799 when the road to Altenstein Castle was being built and expanded into the oldest show cave in Thuringia by spring 1802.

        The public entrance to the cave is below the road from Schweina to Altenstein Castle.
