Very nice cave that you can visit without a guide. A few smaller side paths give you a bit of a sense of discovery and you won't just be smuggled through. Good footwear is recommended for certain paths, as it can get slippery. In addition, the ceiling height is very low in some places. Opening times are around the beginning of April to the end of October daily from 9 a.m. to 5.30 p.m., last admission 5 p.m.

In 1519, Duke Ulrich von Württemberg is said to have hidden in this dark and cold cave for around two weeks from the Swabian Confederation during the day, and a few kilometers further at night at Lichtenstein Castle. At least that's how Wilhelm Hauff wrote in his novel "Lichtenstein" from 1826. His alleged hiding place can still be found in this cave today.
