10/02/2022 - Near the former Rauheneck Castle, which together with the Rauhenstein controlled the entrance to the picturesque Helenental near Baden, lies the bizarre royal cave, which was already inhabited in the Neolithic Age (2200 to 1800 BC). Archaeological excavations made such important finds that the entire period is called the "Baden culture". The presence of humans in the La Tène and Hallstatt periods has also been proven; individual finds date from Roman times and the Middle Ages. Just listing the scientific publications about the cave fills a whole book page. It is not surprising that there are many legends about the cave. King Bela IV of Hungary is said to have sought refuge there, and there are also reports of evil dwarves and wild people. Here and there, the royal cave still serves as a bivouac site, as some traces in the natural monument show.

10/02/2022 - Now in autumn towards the evening there is an unreal atmosphere in the cave, in the dull evening light, in the leafless forest, hardly any colors can be seen here. I enjoy it, take my time taking photos and then climb around the hole in the ceiling above the cave. Great insights and views are the reward.

📷 October 15, 2017 - The 25 m deep Königshöhle 1911/27 (locally also called dwarf cave or smoke stalls) is the eponymous site for the Neolithic Baden culture in Austria. 😊👍👍

Nobody was here today, nice big cave, up on the plateau you can look into the cave - but be careful that nothing happens.
