Difficult to find from St. Arbogast if you don't get the right direction straight away, which can easily happen as there is no sign pointing to the cave. I ended up in the Örfla Gorge, it was nice too. You probably have to walk back along the road from St. Arbogast along Kalkofenweg, the name should actually be clue enough. Will try that soon too. Anyone who wants to can accompany me, whether young or old ;-)

The lime kiln cave was exposed in the course of the construction work for the Rhine Valley motorway. The bottom of the cave is two meters below the current valley floor. It was created around 10,000 years ago by the water of the original Lake Constance and later closed by the gravel of the Rhine. Stalactites and sintered tubes formed inside. The cave was opened on February 3rd, 1971 and in the next few days all stalactites were destroyed and stolen. Today the entrance to the cave is hidden behind a small pile of gravel - but can be visited. In the meantime, the first very small stalactites have formed again. (Source: Natur z'Koblach)
