Following in the footsteps of the Neanderthals, caves and the archaeological park can be discovered and visited. Stone Age people such as the Neanderthals lived in the caves in the Lone Valley. They roamed around and hunted Ice Age animals such as the mammoth. If you want to get a little closer to the Neanderthals, hike from Lindenau through the forest to the Bockstein Cave, which lies on a rocky spur above the valley. The Neanderthals would also have liked the wide view to keep an eye out for prey. The next destination is the Hohlenstein on the edge of the valley floor. Here archaeologists discovered the legendary "Lion Man", a figure carved from mammoth ivory. The caves are therefore a UNESCO World Heritage site. The route continues along the river to the Vogelherd Archaeological Park. Here you can try out Ice Age hunting techniques for yourself. Via Stetten and through the forest, you return to Lindenau.
