The Irpfelhöhle is a karst cave of the Swabian Alb in Baden-Württemberg, on the left edge of the Brenz valley. The cave has a length of 54 meters and leads to the southern slope of the Irpfelberg, which consists of white Jurassic and rises about 1.7 kilometers west-northwest of Giengen an der Brenz. The cave entrance at 480 meters above sea level is about 15 meters above the valley floor.

Special feature of this cave is a freestanding rock gate at the entrance. This gate is the last remnant of a cave room, which has fallen victim to natural hanger erosion. The Irpfelhöhle is a natural monument and a protected geotope
