    former hermit's house / Wildkirchli caves

    Below the Ebenalp are the world-famous Wildkirchli caves with the former hermit's house and the neighboring altar cave. This place gained world fame due to archaeological excavations that uncovered a large number of cave bear skeletons and tools from the Paleolithic period.
