Bruderloch Cave

The Bruderloch is an almost 300 meter long cave system and is protected. Various rooms can be discovered in the entrance area; a ladder leads up to the main hallway.

Very exciting cave that apparently leads several 100 meters into the rock. Don't visit alone!

The Bruderloch cave is a unique natural monument and, like the surrounding forest, is protected. The rocks on the edge of the Eital valley are not only impressive with their bizarre weathering forms, they are also home to the Bruderloch, one of the longest cave systems in the Basel region. Water was able to penetrate deep into the rock along cracks and, over thousands of years, chemically dissolve the limestone (= karst). This is how three caves were created in the immediate vicinity: the Bärenloch with its 30,000-year-old cave bear finds below the waterfall, the Teufelsküche in the Aleten and the Bruderloch, which is at least 300 m deep......naturschutzwenslingen.ch/spezielle-orte/bruderloch-hoehle
