Small artificial grotto. Not really worth seeing, but a shelter in rainy weather and information board with Anektoten to the establishment and the three different names of the grotto.

The Gagern Cave or Fritzens Ruh' is a small cave on the Liederbach. It is located at the transition from Hornau to the burial forest, across from it is a small wooden arched bridge over the stream.

The cave got its nickname after Friedrich von Gagern, who was probably always looking for peace and contemplation and thinking here at his favorite place.

Interesting artificial grotto with a serious background.
