The Niederlimberg rock caves are located at the entrance to Wallerfangen, when you come from Dillingen on the right-hand side. The chain link fence has a few holes so you can get back in there. Unfortunately, I was wearing shorts and because of the nettles I didn't go in but only took a few photos from the outside.

"Here lived the poorest of the poor who could not pay the rents for better apartments.
The Wallerfangen Poor Association (founded in 1838) supported the residents of these rock houses very early on. From 1846 he provided regular emergency supplies. "

You can find more information about the caves at verein-fuer-heimatforschung-wallerfangen.de/main_arbber_heimatg_histo_menschen_felshoehlen.html

Recently a lot of green was removed so that you can see even more entrances to caves. There are a few holes in the chain link fence so that you can also get in. However, inside the entrances to the "hall" or possibly other rooms are unfortunately bricked up. I guess because of the risk of collapse, because there have been landslides in this area.

As long as the L170 is closed, the caves can be viewed in peace.
