Best Hikes to Heimkehle Show Cave
Tips
The show cave is one of around 200 known caves in the South Harz Karst region. There is only one other gypsum cave in the whole of Germany that is open to the public as a show cave. You can explore it on a guided tour lasting around an hour and learn all sorts of interesting facts about its history. Be sure to pack a jacket, as it is very cold underground all year round. You can find more information and opening times here: gemeinde-suedharz.de/schauhoehle-heimkehle.

A beautiful cave my last visit has been a long time but then there was during the tour a great laser show, otherwise the cave is highly recommended

A large show cave, unfortunately, it was badly affected by the armaments industry in World War II.
