    A tour of the largest stalactite cave in Germany is an experience. A stalactite six meters in diameter is the Hammer. A Bavarian king wanted to extract gold from the stalactites and had some stones knocked off. What is very good: You can take photos.

      Opening times with guided tours can be found in the photos. Important to wear a jacket because it is cold in the grotto.

One of the show caves is the Maximilian Grotto and part of the Jurah Caves adventure world (passport through the underworld - stamp booklet). A very popular destination for families in Hersbrucker Switzerland. Among other things, you will find a swallow's nest, a Buddha, an elephant, the Bavarian heraldic animal and much more. With a height of six meters and a width of three to four meters, the iceberg is Germany's largest stalactite.
