At the foot of the Sirgensteinfelsen on the left side of the valley of the Ach you will find a cave with a wide overhanging entrance. Inside, a tube-like low corridor leads to a dome hall with two small ceiling openings that provide daylight. The cave is over 40 meters long. Due to her idiosyncratic form she conveys a special cave feeling to the visitor.

The cave and the sunny forecourt were used by the Neanderthal man and later also by the modern man.

Another of the prehistoric caves. Recently accessible via an excellent gravel road. The cave is a popular destination. Please be sure to show consideration for hikers and families. Avoid the rush hour and show respect.

The last accessible cave in Blaubeuren, for how long?
