    They were created by chemically dissolving the limestone. Since such cave formations only take place in areas filled with groundwater, these processes must have occurred at a time when the Lahn and thus also the groundwater surface were above the level of the Heinzelmann Caves.

    "The wildly romantic rock path high above Bad Ems along the rocks of the Bäderlei with ever new, magnificent views of the river landscape was already part of the standard tourist program for spa guests in the 19th century. On the way are the fascinating Heinzelmann caves. They are karst tubes, a strange one The whim of nature, around which countless legends are entwined. They were created by lime leaching. As early as the 18th century, they fascinated the natural scientist Senckenberg and Goethe's friend Lavater."
