    The Gustav Adolf Cave is located below the Gsteinacher Felsenstraße directly on the Schwarzach. This wonderful place in the Schwarzach Gorge (Schwarzachklamm) was already visited by the Swedish King Gustav Adolf II during the Thirty Years' War, which can be seen from the memorial plaque placed there.

      The Gustav-Adolf-Höhle is the largest of the erosion washouts in the Schwarzachklamm. The name goes back to 1632, when the Swedish King Gustav Adolf was listening to a sermon by the Nuremberg pastor Cornelius Mareius during the Thirty Years' War.

        The cave together with the Schwarzach is a highlight in the area. Avoid walking on Sundays and public holidays. It starts with the parking lot.
