Here was the upper exit of the Tannhäuser Cave. This is now only about 10m "walkable", then it is closed off by a grid, further back there is danger of collapse. Until the Gitte but for the curious with flashlight feasible.

The exit of the Tannhauser cave directly on the ridge path over the Hörselsberg, in winter the caves serve as a hiding place for numerous native bat species.

Please do not confuse this with the exit on Kammweg. The upper exit is somewhat hidden in the forest.
