    The powder cave - the name comes from the explosive powder previously stored there - is located opposite the village on the western slope of the Gampel mountain. If you cross the railway line on the pedestrian bridge and then take the path that runs at the foot of the slope to the left, after approx. 80 m you reach the first group of rocks, there you climb up the slope to the right and meet a path at the foot of the rock which leads diagonally upwards to a rock face with the cave crowned with a rock needle.

      Steep ascent but exciting to see and a bench nearby invites you to look over the Altmühl and Breitenfurt. Flashlight is helpful for a deeper look. The cave is worth seeing but only a few meters accessible.

        The short detour from the main trail is worthwhile. An exciting, even accessible, small cave awaits. However, extra caution is advised on both the approach and descent in wet conditions! A few thresholds are definitely missing, especially at the steep entrance on bare earth (as of May 2025).
