A bit of a hassle but it's worth it. I won't go into a cave like that.

From the ice hole it goes along the rock face to the left side of the front of the valley basin. Here is the entrance to the Sweden Cave. The mouth hole can only be mastered in crawling gear. The path meanders through the rock with a few snags and is manageable for almost everyone. Gang_in_Schwedenhoehle_Bielatal_klein The cave goes 22 meters into the rock and is actually nothing more than a gap between a couple of vertical rock walls. The cave name comes from times between the Thirty Years' War and the Napoleonic Wars of Liberation. The term Sweden... appears in some places in Saxon Switzerland and always indicates that the locals brought themselves and their property here to safety from Swedish invaders.
