    The Sonthheim Cave is one of 2,600 known caves in the Swabian Jura. From May to October you can visit the oldest show cave in Germany on weekends and public holidays. In the months of July and August it is also open Tuesdays to Fridays.

    In the winter months, however, it remains closed to protect over 400 bats over the winter. If you would like to see bats in the cave, you have the best chances in October and May. Maybe you can spot different species of bats, a total of over 13 different species of bats have been counted so far. You can find more information here: sontheimer-hoehle.de
