    Walk-in cave and also quite cool 🥶. Flashlight 🔦 would be good and helpful

      The cave is about 20 meters west under the rock. The entrance is a "bottom hole", paths are not visible, I have been looking for longer. So again the coordinates:

      WGS84 49 ° 40 '55.74 "N, 11 ° 25' 26" E 49.68215 °, 11.42389 °

      The map material is not right in the area, there are many more ways. The hole / rock (very nice, go up) is off road through sparse beech forest to reach:

      > from the south from a path running at the foot of the slope approx. 200 m, normal incline

      > ditto from the north; here a wide passage leads over the ridge right past our rock. The passage can be seen through the trees.

        The Kuppenlochhöhle is a rock hall of 18 m length and 25 m width. In the left background there is a passage that can be traced creeping, it contains a water basin with a small inlet channel, during my visit summer 2018 the water basin was empty.
        The cave is listed as a geotope:
        de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Geotope_im_Landkreis_Bayreuth
        "Fels mit Kuppenlochhöhle (D27) N of Spies"
