Beautiful and quiet place, great for a rest and/or as a highlight for children. A flashlight is not absolutely necessary. But be careful: the upper corridor ends directly in the upper part of the dome!

The Andreaskirche in the Ankatal is a so-called hall cave. According to legend, the cave got its name from the fact that the first Christians in the region are said to have held their services here. The spacious rock hall has three entrances, is eleven meters long, 20 meters wide and seven meters high.
