A piece can be crawled in, then the grotto opens, but only for the cave walkers with equipment.

The cave entrance is very narrow, you can't actually imagine that there was a secret printing press in this cave where leaflets against the Nazi regime were printed. And the person responsible, Ludwig Göhring, also survived the Nazi era!

The Anton Völkel Cave is a natural karst cave named after the speleologist Anton Völkel, who died in an accident on May 10, 1923. The cave is freely accessible year-round. Due to cave protection measures and the bats that hibernate there, it is closed from October to April.
