    Tips

    Take care!

    With great uncertainty, the last bear in Thuringia was born here, which took its own life in the Lauchagrund during a drive hunt.
    Or did district forester Hans Balthasar Harras hunt him down near Geraberg on August 14, 1671?
    Please do not fight. Maybe there were two last bears.

      We had to search a bit before we found the entrance to the cave. Then climb a bit and you sit in the cave and can enter your name in the cave book. The nature around the cave: a dream! And definitely worth the hike !!

        A small cave, accessible to those who can climb a little and are not afraid of heights.
