Stone steps lead to the small cave, which can be explored. It's especially exciting for children.

Hotspot in the region. The excursion to the Sanspareil rock garden is highly recommended. Entry is free.

Anyone who dares to venture into the small cave will no longer find any bears in it today. Still a great adventure for kids!
