Best Hikes to Slate Caves in Sauerborntal

Tips

  • 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
