    on February 18, 1914, he came to explore the Bendorf cave he had discovered. when his servant who was waiting for him on the road did not see him return, he wanted to look for him and discovered the tragedy. a block of rock had come loose and crushed the unfortunate doctor.

    A small entrance gives access to this fairly deep cave. It owes its name to Doctor Herrings, a village doctor with a passion for caving who died here following a landslide in 1914.
