    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 lobby, a total of about 60m in length.

      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.
