Nice little cave with a great story. A thief is said to have repeatedly hidden pieces of meat here in the period around the First World War, which he had stolen from the farmers after the house slaughter. Hence the name of the natural monument, “meat cave”.

Nice cave. If you force your way through the narrowing at the back, the cave behind it really opens up again, into a larger room.
