      In the back left of the cave is a smaller passage, if you follow it you can cross the cave. In some places it is a bit narrower but it is feasible. My husband and 6 year old daughter made it and they had a lot of fun. There are no dangerous places where the children could fall, just do something slowly at the other exit because the cave is a bit steep. So have fun exploring.

        In this cave, about 20 meters long, people have lived since the Stone Age. In 1796, the Königstein farmers here are said to have hidden their cows from the French. The shepherds and many thieves were also harbored here.
