The Falkenstein Cave, located between Grabenstetten and Bad Urach, is an active water cave in the Swabian Alb. The Elsach River flows through it, emerging from the karst here. Entrance to the cave is possible in dry weather, but only with caution. Without permission, you may not venture further than about 20 meters. Guided tours require special equipment and permits. The cave should not be entered under any circumstances during rain or when there is a risk of thunderstorms.
