During the wars (1639, 1706, 1813) the cave served as a hiding place for the local population.
It is about 22 m long and very narrow, actually a long crevice that has broken three times.
You should definitely have a flashlight with you when you go there, long trousers that can get dirty are also an advantage.
The entrance can only be managed in the Krischgang (damp) then you can get up again and follow the first right turn, after about 4 m you are in front of a hole
about 70 x 70 cm (photo) after which it goes 1m down and left into the next gap, this is after about three minutes the actual cave 1m wide and 10m long.
The ascent is very beautiful and a lot of fun, also suitable for children and beginners.

All lengths and widths are only estimated and not measured!

For the right entrance into the actual cave we did not have the guts (for two corners it was enough anyway), but in the area you can scramble great and already the way there is really great.

Courage, it goes around the corner on the right, then down through a small hole three quarters of a meter. Then right again and you are in a larger chamber. At the end there is a cave book and a geocache
