    Below the Ludwigshöhe is the Elisabeth Cave.
    The water that is collected here is said to alleviate eye problems.

      The Ludwigshöhe is one of many viewpoints around Gößweinstein. You can find it if you follow the Gößweinsteiner Kreuzweg. Directly above the natural stage "Theater Cave" you have a wonderful view of the baroque basilica and the distance of Franconian Switzerland.
