Further research is currently underway in the cave. Excavations are being carried out to search for other suspected chambers.Below the closure, the cave drops 14 meters vertically, only then do further chambers with shafts, crevices, and halls appear. The total length is approximately 450 meters, and the total elevation difference is 50 meters.In contrast to the nearby Maximiliansgrotte, there are no pronounced stalactite formations here, and access is only possible for experienced speleologists.As early as 1957, speleologists suspected the presence of a cave here. The research history can be found on the FHKF homepage.
