      The Feldhofhöhle, an impressive cultural cave in the Hönnetal between the Balver district of Binolen and Hemeran Castle Klusenstein, offers a fascinating excursion destination due to its geological nature and historical significance. This cave, which lies in the mass limestone of the Upper Middle Devonian, extends over a total length of 189 meters and is a popular destination for visitors due to its accessibility.

      With an entrance approximately 4 meters high and 8 meters wide, the main hall, with an interior height of around 8 meters and a width of 15 meters, opens to a length of approximately 100 meters before branching off into several dead ends. The constant internal temperature of 8 to 10 degrees Celsius makes the cave a year-round destination. It is also interesting that early traces of Neanderthals, which are up to 100,000 years old, were found in the cave, as well as bones of woolly rhinoceros, reindeer and other animals.

      The Feldhofhöhle is free to enter and, due to its nature, is also suitable for families with small children. Dogs are allowed, but sturdy shoes are recommended due to the uneven terrain. Parking is available nearby, from where the cave can be reached via a short hiking trail.

      A visit to the Feldhofhöhle not only promises an exciting tour of discovery through the cave itself, but also impressive insights into the prehistoric settlement of this region. In addition to the geological features of the cave, including the small number of stalactites and the limestone ceiling, the archaeological finds offer fascinating evidence of bygone eras.
