    Small cave that lies directly below the path. It is only open seasonally because bats hibernate here in the winter months. According to legend, this is the entrance to the realm of the love goddess Venus and the Germanic goddess Hulda, also known as Holla or Holba. The Brothers Grimm then turned it into Frau Holle.
