Hiking

Rock formation directly above Handschuhsheim - somewhere in the rock should probably hide a small cave - but I did not discover it.

Hiking

The cave entrance is a bit hidden above, was difficult to reach because of the rain.

The cave is right at the beginning of the rock formation when you come from the grill hut. If you stand directly in front of the rock, go to the left. But it's a pretty small cave. A flashlight is not necessary. 😊
