The Pumper Cave

Otting's pumper cave is a testament to the past. In front of the cave, which is said to be about 240 meters long, there is scree made of dolomite. After a few turns there is a place with medium-sized stalactites.

The cave has cistern-like depths with rushing water. Behind the first cave, a second and third one with an area of approx. 10m² and a height of four meters were also discovered. A fourth and further cave can only be entered lying down.

Remains of an old sacrificial site near the pumper's cave give an indication of people who may have lived in the cave long ago, hunted in the area and worshiped their gods.
