Tips
The small climb should not be avoided, it is really worth it.

Located a little off the road in the forest. The cave has a large space.

The Michelhöhle, actually referred to as Appenloch in the geotope register (there is also an entry about it in Wikipedia), is a spacious hall with many interesting small cavities that lead into the jagged rock (don't forget your flashlight!). The short climb is really worth it, but the trail there is not easy to see from the hiking trail.
