    The stone church is located on the slope of the Steinberg above the small resort Scharzfeld and consists of an almost rectangular cave room and a large forecourt. According to archaeologists, excavation finds indicate that the cave was used by reindeer hunters some 10,000 years ago. Later, the Teutons probably used the cave as a place of worship.

      Easy to reach in Scharzfeld. It is a round-arched cave in dolomite rock with a length of about 28 m and 6-8 m high
