Best Hikes to Maximiliansgrotte

Tips

  • 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.
