French soldiers are said to have used the small cave as a resting place in 1796. It has a striking double entrance and a large vestibule, approx. 60m long in total. It's best to approach from the wind hole, then you don't have to push.

The French hole and that radiates more invitation than the wind hole. The spacious French cave has two entrances, a large vestibule and you can go several meters deep into the rock. The next karst cave in the forest is the Schnackenloch, not for claustrophobic people.
