The Hohlstein Cave is a unique natural treasure: geologically valuable, biologically significant, and strictly protected. Although it is not accessible, it is home to an impressive winter population of bats and a globally unique insect population. Its long history of scientific study, combined with its status as a Habitats Conservation Area and nature reserve, makes it an outstanding example of successful species and habitat conservation in the Lippe district.
