A very large cave with many exits, so a lot of light falls into the cave. It is also very bright and, with stairs and concrete reinforcements, can be entered even by fearful people (claustrophobia, darkness, etc.) In the back part - up the stairs - you can crawl out on your knees by lowering. The various openings of the cave have something like windows, so no artificial light is necessary during the day

Hiking

The caves are worth a visit. Very nice circuit from the parking lot where there is also a toilet with a small kiosk / snack

The Kakushöhle is the larger of two caves in the Kakusfelsen (Kartstein) in the Dreimühlen district of Mechernich. It is one of the largest open caves in the Eifel and part of the 5.8 hectare nature reserve Kartsteinhöhlen with Kakushöhle, which was designated in 1932.
