    The Dachshöhle is a small cave on the Dachshältersteig. To enter the Dachshöhle you have to squeeze through a narrow crack in the rock. A flashlight is recommended.

    The badger cave offers some cooling on warm days and is located right on the edge of the small descent to the Kirnitzsch. The cave can only be entered individually and by small and thin people. You shouldn't be claustrophobic either, but there's no serious risk of getting stuck.
    Unfortunately, on warm summer days this is a gathering point for tourists, as the cave can only be entered individually.

    To the left, a rather faded inscription points us to the Badger Cave. At first glance, it appears to consist of nothing more than a boring and narrow crevice in the rock. Backpack off, dig in your belly, and squeeze through. After a few meters, the crevice widens, and we find ourselves in the actual cave.
