    Tips

    The Tannhauser cave, which was only discovered in 1928, is around two to five million years old. It is located very close to the Venus cave. Originally, after the discovery of stalactites, it was planned to expand it into a show cave, but this was closed four years later due to financial problems. The cave inspired Richard Wagner on his journey through the region to his opera “Tannhäuser and the Singers' War on the Wartburg”.

    A short descent takes you to the southern entrance of the Tannhäuser Cave. The deepest passages of the cave have become impassable again over the years, so that you only get a few meters into the crevice.

      So some things are cleared up. Tannhäuser and Venus didn't spend their time in a cave, they were just neighbors, Mr. Wagner. Ok, you didn't know that yet, but it changes a lot of the story. The aria is wonderful, but why shouldn't Ms. Venus let her neighbor "go"?
