An inconspicuous cave on the other side of the Laubenbach. Unfortunately, the sign can only be seen after you have disturbed the bats.
But the inscription is worth reading:
This grid protects biodiversity!
and no gold
no diamonds,
no mithrill,
no vase from the Ming Dynasty,
and not even a pokemon ....
... but us Bechstein's bats!
If you disturb us, we will die!

Most of the slate tunnels are now closed with an iron grille to protect the bats. If you want to take a closer look at one of these, you can do this about 1.5 km north of here:

We almost missed the bat cave in the Sauerborntal - because it is on the other side of the path and you have to cross the stream
