      The approx. 30 meter long and 4 meter wide beech hole cave has been under nature protection since 1938. The cave is freely accessible, but should not be entered between October 1st and March 31st so that the bats living here are not disturbed in their hibernation.

        The Buchenlochhöhle is a cave about 30 meters long and open to the public. During excavations in the 19th century, tools and animal bones from the Ice Age were found. To explore the cave, you should bring a flashlight with you, as there is no artificial light inside.
